Christopher N. Cross, a Bouchet member and alum of Howard University, will share insights into his academic journey and observations working in health equity in an age of misinformation.  Engaging with Cross in the fireside chat will be Tyriesa Howard, assistant professor in the Brown School of Social Work and Bouchet member.

The Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, established by Yale University and Howard University in 2005, is named for the first African American doctoral recipient in the United States. Edward Bouchet (1852-1918) was the first African American to earn a doctorate from an American university when he earned a PhD in physics at Yale University in 1876. The Society recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate. 

This special event coincides with the launch of the Bouchet Graduate Honor Society application for 2024.
