The Iowa Commission of Latino Affairs has announced the six Iowans who will be inducted into the Iowa Latino Hall of Fame this fall. Among the honorees is Alexia Sanchez, Class of 2020.

Since 2007, the Department of Political Science has conducted the Hawkeye Poll, a series of national and state public opinion polls that have resulted in important research by faculty and graduate students and that have exposed hundreds of undergraduates to the process of survey research.

Every semester, the department offers career-focused courses taught by political science alumni. This spring, Andrea Woodard (’07) lead the Political Science Alumni Mentoring Program.

Several students received scholarships for exciting internships this summer. The scholarships help offset the costs of travel, housing, and living expenses for internships outside of the Iowa City area.

The Hawkeye Poll is a cooperative venture between faculty and graduate students in which members help implement the survey in exchange for the opportunity to place questions on it.
