In the Alumni Spotlight, we talked with James McCall (\u201919 PhD), who emphasized the importance of faculty mentorship while he was a graduate student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also highlight undergraduate Dalton Cardoso, recipient of the 2024 Outstanding Senior Award, who worked closely with sociology faculty and graduate students during his time here. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please feel free to reach out to us with any comments, questions, or ideas for future articles.
