#PolicyProfile: Rayna Truelove, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
From an early age, I recognized the inequality in my home of New Orleans and in the South in general. Even as a teenager, I was thinking, ‘How am I paying it forward, ensuring I can make education more accessible?’ I left New Orleans for college in San Antonio at @trinityU to pursue neuroscience as an undergraduate and @BrownU…

#PolicyProfile: Odette Overton MPA ’23
“I’m intuition oriented, curious, and driven to understand the world around me. In 2nd grade, I was asked to write a short story but instead wrote a research book on underwater animals complete with citations. Not much has changed since. I’m also drawn to decision-making and how everyone’s personal experiences shape their…

“I was always an avid reader, and I think that played a role in my passion for education. It’s kind of funny that I chose higher ed as a career; no one in my family went to college until my sister. Books made my world bigger. By reading, I got a glimpse of the different places and people out there. To me, education seemed like…

“Sometimes it feels very surreal, to be employed at Princeton. I’ve been at SPIA for eight years, and I still have times when I'm walking on campus when I think, ‘I can’t believe I work here!’ The campus is full of really smart people who are doing some pretty amazing things, and it’s great because every day is different. I…

“Being a #firstgen college student was something I set out to accomplish from an early age. Having parents who never finished college — and had struggles in their careers because of it — was a huge motivator for me. My parents are amazing and have provided me and my brother with everything we could want and more, but seeing…
