“I found the Center to be the most intellectually stimulating place that I have experienced. Its mix of scholars with diverse interests and knowledge dedicated to learning about American politics made it an incredibly valuable place for me to develop skills and be exposed to new ideas as I began my post-doctoral academic career. It is a place that practices social science at its best.”
