Three P&G Students Claim Summer Research Awards

As you may know, the University offers awards to students interested in doing summer research. The competition for the awards is stiff, and we are happy to report that three Politics and Government students have won support for their work!

Amanda Nicol will be working on "A New Approach to the Unitary Executive Theory," supervised by Professor Haltom.

Melanie Rieff will be working on "The Power to Resist: A Study of Dissdence Movements in Eastern Europe," supervised by Professor Kessel.

Peter Russell will be working on "The Tunisian Push for Democracy: How the Young Population Will Institutionalize the Revolution," supervised by Professor O'Neil.

Congratulations to Amanda, Melanie, and Peter!
