Karen A. Watkins, a first year student in the Masters in Public Policy (MPP) program, committed suicide last December. Students are voicing their concern about the school's atmosphere after Jamie A. Smarr, a friend of Watkins, wrote an article about her in the January issue of the Kennedy School...
But Smarr says that students enrolled in a challenging professional school program often feel lonely, and there is nothing the Kennedy School could have done to make Watkins feel more included.
Although Foster was in the same cohort as Watkins last year, he hardly knew her.
"Everybody needs to take on a little bit more responsibility to be aware of how other people around them are doing," she says. "It's very easy for people to fall through the cracks, and it's possible that [Watkins] did."
