Graduation! PhDiva Xine Yao was chosen as the baton-wielding degree marshal representing all graduating PhDs at Cornell for the 2016 Commencement. As a gesture of solidarity, she raised her fist when entering the stadium and on stage where it would be projected on the Jumbotron and recorded for posterity. Is Xine the "modelliest model minority ever" and can she try to use her visibility for good causes? Drs. Liz and Xine talk about struggle, success, privilege, and vulnerability amidst the pomp and circumstance of graduation. Xine met the amazing Paula Vogel who was kicked out of her PhD in the 70s for writing a feminist dissertation -- and who went onto positions at Brown and Yale. We also pay homage to some of the amazing undergrads we know. Farewell and may we meet again!
