Awards and Honors

ISSR announced an opportunity to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience in social science research while supporting faculty in developing grant proposals. The role offers insight into how social scientists design research questions, frame their work for funding agencies, and communicate the broader impacts of their studies. Four students were selected to work with faculty from the social sciences.

Congratulations to Vidya Narendra Ramakrishna working with Wayne Xu (Communication), Morgan Yap working with Kelsey Shoub and Libby Sharrow (School of Public Policy), Madison Van Uitert working with Jesse Rhodes (Political Science), and Ananya Ganguly working with Carey Clouse (Architecture; LARP).
