July 2023

Congratulations to our 2023 CSBS Distinguished Alumni Honoree Wade Roberts (B.A. ’04, PhD ’09, Economics) for receiving the Change-maker Award.

University of Utah political scientist Baodong Liu served as an expert witness in a consequential voting rights case decided on June 8 by the U.S. Supreme Court.

As college students decide whether or not to pursue careers in science, a sense of belonging makes a critical difference. To that end, faculty who behave “communally,” as opposed to “independently,” will have better success directing their students into fields associated with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), according to new research led by University of Utah social psychologist Jacqueline Chen.

Congratulations to our 2023 CSBS Distinguished Alumni Honoree Caroline Gleich (B.S. '10, Anthropology) for receiving the Rising Star Award.
