Carmin Wong has been awarded a 2022-23 Graduate Voices in Diversity & Inclusion (GVDI) grant by the Graduate Alliance for Diversity and Inclusion and BRIDGE Diversity Alliance at Penn State. GVDI grants help fund College of Liberal Arts graduate student initiatives aimed at improving the recruitment, retention, and leadership training of graduate students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Carmin will use the funding to hold a literary arts festival celebrating the voices of Black women poets and writers; the festival will emphasize community-building through writing and performance, while providing necessary support for underrepresented creatives of all ages. Congratulations, Carmin!
