May 1, 2023

Congratulations to Elizabeth Hopkinson EVST BA ‘22 who received the Paul Mellon Fellowship to pursue an M.Phil. in health, medicine, and society at Clare College, Cambridge! 

Elizabeth’s EVST senior thesis explored end-of-life care using geographic concepts of place and place-making. At Cambridge, she will continue to study how places affect experiences of aging, dying, and disability.

While at Yale, Elizabeth was a leader of FOOT (First-year Orientation Trips), was a first-year counselor in Jonathan Edwards College, a Yale Daily News editor, and a research assistant at the Yale School of Nursing and in the Human Nature Lab.

During the height of the COVID pandemic, she worked as an EMT near her home in Westborough, Massachusetts.

We’re proud of you Liz and can’t wait to watch the next chapter of your academic journey!
