Robert Cerise is awarded the 2022 Donald S. Carlisle Award

The Carlisle Award was established by the Political Science Department in memory of Prof. Carlisle, who was a professor in the department for nearly 30 years, from 1968-1997.  

Every year, the department gives the award to the top graduating senior in the Honors Program.  Cerise (majoring in Political Science and Russian) had an outstanding academic record, and the Honors Program Committee recognized his thesis, “Kazakhstan’s Handbook: A Steppe-by-Steppe Guide to Regime Insulation,” as the outstanding thesis submitted this year.
