Greetings from Woodburn Hall, home of Indiana University’s Department of Political Science! This is a time of transition at our end, with a new executive team appointed as of July 1. I will serve as Chair of the Department for the next three years. Steven Webster will serve as Director of Graduate Studies and Jacek Dalecki will continue in his role as Director of Undergraduate Studies.
We are fortunate to work with a dedicated staff whose daily work makes the running of the department possible: Jan Peterson, Amanda Campbell, Lisa McCoy, Jackie Gentry, Isabel Dowling, and Rick Watson. Our department is also fortunate to work with two outstanding student advisors: Jeanne Myers and Laurie Staring. I am deeply grateful to all of them for working with me!
We want to hear from you! Share your story with a class note, and let us know what's new in your career and life.
