Image Description: This logo features a bright, white outline drawing of a mortar board style graduation hat with a hanging tassel. Under the hat where someone’s face would be, also in bright, white lettering reads “Dr. Cyn and the Graduates RISE.” The stems on the letter E are lifting up and to the right to symbolize rising. Created with Marilu Herrera.
Dr. CynCorrigible and their band Graduates Rise use punk rock, confessional poetry, and explicit criticism in an attempt to demystify politics and systems of higher education.
In this image, Dr. CynCorrigible is pictured wearing an army jacket and gothic jewelry. Their hair is teased up in a side hawk and they have a black stripe of makeup across their eyes. They are standing against a black sky with a snarl on their face, hands reaching up as if grasping for change.
