From RMC alum Aina Ramiaramanana:

I am posting my thesis recruitment flyer here to ask if any Black RMC alumnae from the class of 2008-2018 would be willing to participate in my Master’s thesis research. I am conducting 60 to 90 minute interviews and will send participants a $10 Amazon e-gift card in return.

If you fit the criteria below and are interested, please email me at [email protected]. The interview will be online.
