The Political Science Department announces that the winner of the 2021 Donald S. Carlisle Award is Mr. Czar Sepe '21.

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.  Czar (majoring in Political Science and History) had an outstanding academic record, and the Honors Program Committee recognized his thesis, “From Beirut to Belfast: How Power-Sharing Arrangements Affect Ethnic Tensions in Post-Conflict Societies,” as the outstanding thesis submitted this year.
