@matthenryyoung This. I feel seen.

Every time a student asks for a recommendation it's either an outstanding student falling over themselves to apologize for the inconvenience of asking for a recommendation due 3 months from now or a student who barely attended my class who wants it by Friday.

@Gyamfi_PhD Congratulations!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the @RUHistoryDept as an Assistant Professor this fall.

Excited to receive author copies of my reference text, "Historical Dictionary of the Donald Trump Administration" in the mail!

@bjrottinghaus Love this! I'd enjoy doing something similar here one day, but "Florperts" doesn't have the same ring to it...

Exited to announce I'm hosting a new @HPMpolitics podcast and radio show feature on Hello Houston: Texperts! These are short primers on Texas government from people on the inside. #txlege houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/shows…

I was recently honored and humbled to receive the 2025 Faculty Excellence in Service Award @SaintLeoUniv for my ongoing service work. Blessed to be serving with supportive and encouraging colleagues.

@bjrottinghaus Thank you for inviting me to join you and Justin on the latest version of this project!

We (Justin Vaughn @CCUChanticleers) worked with the New York Times to design an expert survey on President Trump’s first 100 days - check it out!

Today I got to inform two students they are published authors due to our encyclopedia entries being published in the 5th Edition of the Encyclopedia of the American Presidency. Definitely a good day on the job at @SaintLeoUniv.

@bjrottinghaus Love this!

Action figures available every week to explain national and Texas politics! @jcortina @HPMpolitics New episode out today: pbs.org/show/party-pol…

@kendalllynnc Congratulations!

Since I’m captive on the plane post-MPSA, I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be starting as an assistant professor of political science at the University of Mississippi this coming fall!

Who is the "greatest" president? Find out this morning as @bjrottinghaus, Justin Vaughn, and I present our paper on the 2024 Presidential Greatness Survey! #MPSA2025

Short games and active learning roundtable this morning was fun and encouraging. Thanks to my fellow panelists @ShamiraGelbman @EDorssom and others for their insights! #MPSA2025

Received insightful and supportive discussant comments on first paper @MPSAnet #mpsa2025. Participating on roundtable tomorrow morning about using short games and activities in the classroom!

First presentation at #MPSA2025 this afternoon on presidential radio addresses and rhetorical strategy!

Excited to receive an R&R on my first co-authorship with @bjrottinghaus!

@shallow__state Congratulations Dave!

@NC_Renic I feel seen.

Being an academic means asking the tough questions, like "why did I agree to this?" and "what was I thinking?"

@valeriia_um Congratulations!

Exciting news! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining @PolisciTulane as a tenure-track Assistant Professor! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey!
