We love hearing from our alumnae! 1998 alumna Dr. Queen Meccasia Zabriskie sent us a recent update: “I am in Ohio for the year at Antioch College. They have a Coretta Scott King Center for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom here and I am the Acting Director of the Center and a Resident Fellow, as well as a Visiting Associate Professor of Social Sciences.” Dr. Zabriskie earned her BA from Duke University and her MA and PhD in Sociology from Northwestern University. She is a tenured professor at New College of Florida. What an amazing career!
