Oliver Center for Politics and Race in America supported this summer in congressional offices, federal agencies and think tanks. Our Public Service Leadership Program covers stipends and housing so finances don’t decide who gets to serve. Hear from our students about why these roles matter and why it matters who holds them. 🎥 Video by Tania Bentley

I am excited to share that my research paper, “My Afro Guyanese Identity Vs The Perception,” has been accepted for presentation at the Caribbean Studies Association 50th Annual Conference in Kingston, Jamaica, from June 1st–5th. This opportunity is especially meaningful because it fulfills a goal I’ve had throughout college: conducting research and presenting my work at an academic conference. With my professor, Hyacinth Miller’s support, I was able to develop and submit this paper, and I’m grateful it was accepted. I’m also proud that two of my friends, Mya Ramhi and Tabitha Destinoble, will be presenting alongside me, making this an even more rewarding experience. I look forward to sharing my research on Afro-Guyanese identity, connecting with scholars and students from across the Caribbean and beyond, and learning from the many conversations that will take place throughout the conference. Thank you to the Caribbean Studies Association for this opportunity. Looking forward to an incredible week of learning, networking, and exploring in Jamaica! #CSA2026 #CSA50

This past weekend, I had the honor of serving as a student speaker at Rutgers University–Newark’s Rites of Passage Ceremony alongside my fellow Honors Living-Learning Community colleague, Safanya N. Searcy, student hosts Karen Perez and Moujan Moghimi, and guest speaker Professor Hyacinth Miller. This moment was especially meaningful because it was a full-circle experience. As a freshman, I sat in the audience and watched one of my mentors, Joshnelly Orbe, deliver her Rites of Passage speech. I remember telling myself that one day I wanted to stand on that stage and share my own story. Four years later, that dream became a reality. The message of my speech was simple: “Let Them Say No.” Too often, we hold ourselves back by convincing ourselves we're not ready, qualified, or capable. Throughout my time at Rutgers–Newark, many of the opportunities that shaped my journey from studying abroad and building my business to interning on Capitol Hill and serving in leadership roles only happened because I chose to apply anyway, reach out anyway, and show up anyway. As I shared with the Class of 2026: “Let the world say no to you a thousand times before you ever say no to yourself.” I am incredibly grateful to the Intercultural Resource Center, Dr. Gary Santos Mendoza, Ph.D., Dejane Lawrence, Amanda Brochhausen, and everyone involved in organizing this year's Rites of Passage Ceremony. Thank you for trusting me with the opportunity to share this message and celebrate such an outstanding graduating class. Thank you @logisticsoflight for the photos. Congratulations to the Rutgers–Newark Class of 2026.
