Virtual Scholarships and Awards Wall
The Political Science Department has initiated this Virtual Scholarships and Awards Wall as a way of recognizing the achievements of our students and alumni. We presently have plaques for each of the scholarships/awards hanging on the walls of Coleman Hall, mostly at the north end of the political science area. However, only our current students and visitors to Coleman Hall can peruse them. We thus see this as an important way to let our website visitors know about those students--many of whom now are alumni--who have distinguished themselves in the classroom and beyond.
