The Department of Political Science celebrates the achievements and hard work of all of our 2020 graduates. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and look forward to following their future life paths! If you would like to get to know some of our 2020 graduates, here are seven students from our department’s Honors Program.

In an effort to reduce the possibility of illness caused by the Coronavirus, the Department of Political Science will be temporarily closed to minimize personnel presence in the office. Staff will continue to be available via remote access, and can be reached via email, or can return phone messages left on their work numbers, or can schedule Zoom meetings, as necessary.

Six exceptional UCLA professors and leaders — Physical Sciences Dean Miguel García-Garibay, School of Law Dean Jennifer Mnookin, Education Professor Pedro Noguera, Political Science Professor Lynn Vavreck, environmental champion Mary Nichols and Hammer Museum Director Ann Philbin — were elected April 23 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation’s most prestigious honorary societies.
