The graduates featured here are entering different professions, but the stories share a concern with service: who is welcomed, whose knowledge is kept and what a professional responsibility looks like in practice.

Alumni work becomes meaningful when it changes the terms of the room. Medicine, law and librarianship each offer a way to widen access without asking people to leave their histories at the door.
