Opportunities and Announcements
for the Week of May 20, 2019
The Department has several prizes to award to our graduating seniors: the Flora Stone Mather Prize (for outstanding academic performance in political science) and three new subfield prizes for outstanding scholarship in the study of comparative politics, of international relations, and of US politics. These prizes have been funded by support from a generous anonymous donor, to whom we are very grateful for the opportunity to recognizing our outstanding students. Professor Joseph White will present these awards to our seniors at the Academic Awards Ceremony tomorrow.
The final Newsletter of the 2018-19 academic year will arrive on Monday. There are more congratulations to share, thanks to extend, farewells to issue, and donors to recognize. Until then, congratulations to our graduating seniors, whom I look forward to seeing on Sunday at commencement!
With all best wishes,
Karen
