The Department of Political Science has been very active over the past year.
Several stories are of particular note for current and former students, staff, and faculty.
The Stony Brook Department of Political Science has fared very well in recent national rankings of political science departments. We thank our faculty, staff, and students for these achievements. Milton Lodge , Professor of Political Science, has recently been recognized in two ways for his research and teaching excellence. He has been elected President of The Midwest Political Science Association, one of the most prominent professional organizations in our field. And this year, Professor Lodge was also recognized by the State University of New York as a Distinguished University Professor of Political Science.
