Schnaude Dorizan wins Northwestern's 2021 McBride award

Only one graduate student across the whole university wins each year. The award recognizes one outstanding TGS student who goes above and beyond in any or all of the areas of diversity, service, and engagement–the strategic priorities McBride worked to foster in the graduate community at Northwestern. Congratulations, Schnaude!
