Our next semi-annual Open House where we share strategies for success in the program and beyond has been scheduled! During our Fall  2012 Open House gathering, you will get information about program requirements, double-majoring, internships, certificates, teaching and research opportunities, tips for applying to graduate school, including Law Schools, information about getting involved on campus, and much more. We just approved some changes to our curriculum — be the first to know about these changes! You will meet most of the faculty members in the PEA Department and will have a chance to ask us any questions you might have. This event is for all students, but it is particularly helpful for those of you who just signed up for one of our majors or minors. There will be lots of informal conversations and friendly advice. And some light refreshments will be served.

Please join us on Monday, September 10, 4-5PM in 1965  room of the University Union (next to the Common Grounds coffee shop).

Professor Phoenix will be overseeing most of the Center’s projects now. For more on the Center please click here.

Seniors Sara Bruesewitz and Maddie Ganzlin are completing Honors Projects in advanced program evaluation methods. The two are assisting the Appleton Public Library’s Friends foundation in running 8 focus groups of Appleton-area residents, hoping to learn what citizens think that their library should be like in the future. Sara and Maddie are also working with teams of students in Dr. Lora Warner’s Program Evaluation class to develop outcome measures for local agencies such as Brown County Drug Court, Golden House, and NEW Curative.

Our wonderful colleague and award-winning professor emerita, Denise Scheberle, was just awarded one of the top teaching honors in Political Science. Professor Scheberle is 2012 winner of American Political Science Association’s Teaching Award. We always knew that Denise was a super teacher, but this distinction signifies national recognition of this fact. Congratulations, Denise!
