ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ

The Picker Interdisciplinary Science Institute has announced this year’s awards supporting interdisciplinary research, training, and student-centered scholarship at ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ.

The elective designation, awarded by the American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation, recognizing the University’s continuing commitment to community engagement and partnerships.

The Lampert Scholars and Storing-Hou Director of the Lampert Institute for Civic and Global Affairs Chad Sparber traveled to Washington, D.C., in October to meet with alumni and policy experts, part of the institute’s mission to build a bridge between academic and applied work in a policy sphere.

A professor's lifelong friendship led to a new first-semester seminar course where students from ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ engaged with students in a leadership seminar at Norfolk State University.

The conference will feature ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ professors Peter Balakian and Kyle Bass as workshop instructors, alongside other distinguished visiting faculty from Hamilton College, Cornell University, Ithaca College, and more.

ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ’s William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies Emerita Ellen Percy Kraly was honored by the Center for Migration Studies at its 2025 Academic and Policy Symposium in New York City.

ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ faculty, staff, and alumni regularly provide their expertise and contribute to national and regional media outlets shaping discussions about vital research and current events.

Peter Balakian, Donald M. and Constance H. Rebar Professor in humanities, professor of English, and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, reads selections from his newest work, New York Trilogy, on the most recent episode of 13, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ’s award-winning podcast.
