The GVPT 3rd annual Rising Scholars Conference

The Department of Government and Politics 3rd Annual Rising Scholars Conference was a success!

The Rising Scholars Conference encouraged undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue academic careers in political science. Students presented their research—on topics like social media's influence on the Black vote, how international investments impact governance in Latin America, and the complexities of free speech and symbolism—and received feedback from GVPT faculty. It was an excellent opportunity for students to refine their work, engage with peers, and learn more about what it means to pursue a PhD.

Thank you to the students, mentors, and faculty who made this event impactful. We're excited to see these rising scholars shape the field.
