This week marks one year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. It’s been one year since students, faculty, & staff were sent to work and learn from home. We here at the Hatchcast were no exception. Today, the Hatchcast team marks a topsy-turvy-volatile-deadly-anxious-weird-bombshell year by offering Part One of a miniseries we're calling Spartan Successors.

Turning to those who inspire & heal, we sit down with 2020 Spartan Graduates and ask them about their experiences and what they wish for those graduating in May. From all of us at The Hatchcast, enjoy!

Mi'Ele Booker (Communications, '20) is a creator and vibrant storyteller. She is a venturer. Ms. Booker is a leader and creative visionary. In her own words: Whether it’s through photography, writing, or speaking, I want to create a sense of connection with my audience while creatively expressing myself. Being confident is one thing, but using that confidence to be vulnerable with my story is very important to me.
