My amazing undergraduate, Emma Griffin, is presenting her multi-methods School of Public & International Affairs | UGA UGA Department of International Affairs UGA Morehead Honors College thesis at #ISA2024 this morning. I'm so proud of her and excited for her future success.

I'm so thankful to ISA, which has helped me succeed in a discipline that not always supported early career scholar parents in decades past. Thanks in big part to ISA's journals, mentorship, and conferences, I'm now in a place to 'pay it forward.'

Received an April Fools' journal rejection. Congrats to me! The reviewers totally made it seem like they hated the paper. They really got me! I'm excited to see the piece in print. :-)

It really is a great day to be a Dawg! Thanks to my students, colleagues, family, and friends. Congrats to Dr. Diana Downs, this year's other Regents' Professor. I'm so excited to keep using my 'tools' to better the world around us.

The MIP is growing! Since 2020, the Master of International Policy (MIP) Program has almost doubled in size. This year, about 65 students are participating, including the senior and junior cohorts along with those in the Double Dawgs pathway.
