"Darkness cannot drive out the darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Rhetorical Inquiry: Audrey Strohm is a graduate student studying Rhetoric in Dietrich College. She is a first generation graduate student, and has found it difficult to balance learning both learning her discipline and meeting the expectations of mastery. She's also interested in hearing your stories and how the collective experiences, with notions of expertise might enrich conversations about the first generation experience as it relates specifically to graduate students. If you are open to sharing your story, find time to meet up! In this 20 minute conversation, she will ask you to reflect on your experience as a first generation graduate student. For more information or to set up a time to meet, you can reach her at astrohm@andrew.cmu.edu.
