Jessica Gahring graduated Magna Cum Laude from Russell Sage College in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology with a concentration in global cultures and inequalities and a minor in women’s studies. Today, she's one of the rising stars on TLC's NY Ink, a reality show based in SoHo's newest up and coming tattoo parlor, the Wooster Street Social Club.

Gahring will be back on campus to discuss Talking Back, Speaking Out and Being Humble & Making It Big. Following the lecture, Gahring will be available for autographs and pictures.

Tickets are available at Schacht the night of the event.

“Jess tells it like it is and she was a great student,” said Michelle Napierski-Prancl, associate professor of sociology. “I think all reality shows could stand to have a critical sociologist like Jess among their ranks.”
