Nine Cornell doctoral candidates have been inducted into the Cornell chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society.
The Bouchet Society recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate. Its network of scholars exemplifies academic and personal excellence, character, service and advocacy.
Cornell's Bouchet scholars, along with scholars from institutions around the country, were inducted at the annual Yale Bouchet Conference on Graduate Education hosted by the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in New Haven, Connecticut on April 4 and 5. The theme of this year's conference was "Environmental Justice: The Intersection of Climate Change and Social Equity." During the two-day program eight Cornell scholars gave poster and oral research presentations.
