Some alumni are executive directors of non-profit organizations, partners in law firms, CEO&#8217;s of large corporations, and even elected officials. One of our alumna was a MacArthur Genius Grant winner in 2017. Despite this range, one pursuit that unites most of our alumni is public service: they are determined to give back to their communities and leave the world better than they found it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Political Science is immensely proud of what its alumni accomplish.
