The department congratulates Torey Holderith and Garrett Heilman, both of whom have been awarded summer research scholarships from the university in the amount of $3000. Garrett will be working under Professor Weinberger on the topic "Iranian Proliferation in the Context of an Evolving Transatlantic Relationship," while Torey Holderith will be working under Professor O'Neil on the topic "Using the Market to Build the State: Reversing Contemporary State-Building Logic in Iraq."
In addition, Professor Share will be supervising a third Summer Scholar, Kyla Roberts (Foreign Languages), on the research topic "The Economic Effects of Raul Castro's New Government in Cuba".
These are highly competitive awards, so the department is pleased that our majors have done so well. We look forward to working with them and learning about their findings in the fall.
