 Hey there everyone. My name is Evan Corcoran and I'm a graduating Fletcher student and the graduate coordinator for the IGL's and power program. I'm currently wearing this rather smart-looking cotton Oxford and blazer to try to distract you from the fact that I haven't shaved in a month and a half and I'm currently sporting quite the unkept beard. For the last couple weeks of not shaving, making my bed, or wearing anything but sweatpants has given me plenty of time to pause and reflect on my time here at Fletcher, the IGL, and Tufts University. The last two years here have been some of the most impactful in my life. I've been able to take classes, professors at the forefront of their academic fields, engage in near daily thought-provoking discussions with my colleagues, and make lifelong friends with some of us intelligent, driven, and truly caring people that I've ever had the privilege of meeting. Here at the IGL, through my work as an empower coordinator, I've been able to support students in the pursuit of social entrepreneurship research, internships, and ventures. Being able to see the passion, drive, and skill of these students, all working toward making the world a better place, has been incredibly rewarding and inspirational. In terms of post-grad life or post-Zoom graduation life, I just found out that I was awarded a Fulbright Award to study in Turkey and a Bourne Fellowship to study Turkish and Assyrian Azerbaijan. So I'm incredibly honored to receive these awards and I'm currently trying to figure out which has the greatest odds of actually moving forward given the COVID-19 situation. So hopefully in a few months, I'll either be in Turkey or Azerbaijan. To all the graduating students out there, good luck. There's no sugarcoating it. This sucks. We're missing out on what could have been the last few precious months of when all our closest friends are gathered together in one place. We're potentially missing out on a summer filled with normal summertime activities, and we're missing out on any semblance of a normal job market. But eventually this will pass and we will be able to move on. And I know that with the knowledge, skills, networks, and friendships we've made here, we are eventually going to make something of it. So good luck.
