Eckerson won an English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright Award for Rwanda. He graduated from Hunter with his master’s in Adolescent Social Studies Education this spring.

She plans to attend graduate school to obtain her MD-PhD degree. At Hunter, she majored in Psychology and was a Roosevelt Scholar.
Todd will spend a year at Western Ontario University studying the role of the rural-urban divide in the polarization of Canadian politics. At Hunter, Todd majored with distinction in Political Science, was a Roosevelt Scholar, a Thomas Hunter Honors Scholar, a Mellon Public Humanities and Social Justice Fellow, and a Grove Fellow. Much of Todd’s scholarly work is on labor organizing in New York City, with special emphasis on the gig economy. Todd earned a master’s in Politics from The New School for Social Research this spring. He plans to continue his studies toward a PhD in Political Science.
Hunter’s Ruth and Harold Newman Office of Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships concluded the 2023–24 fellowship cycle with a record 79 winners of nationally competitive scholarships.
