Mariska Hargitay, the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate Degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2023, issued a challenge to us all. "Let's aim to elevate ourselves by developing greater humility and a stronger capacity to truly listen," she said. It's a call to become better communicators and more understanding people. Let's take on this challenge and strive to reach higher levels of empathy and openness. Mariska's words serve as an inspiration for us to continue learning, growing, and evolving into better versions of ourselves.
