Congrats to TTU Political Science Department PhD. Candidate Henry Moncrieff has been named a Visiting Fellow at Notre Dame’s Kellogg Institute for the 25-26 academic year. His project, “Supporters or Bystanders? The Military’s Role in Democratic Backsliding in Latin America.”

Congratulations to @TTUPoliSci students Samuel, Kimberly, Sofia, & Amber for being inducted into Phi Beta Kappa! Very honored to be named alongside @moriahharman as an influential professor, and grateful to have the opportunity to teach dedicated students such as these.

From new faculty orientation to graduation, my 1st fall at TTU is over. Thank you @TTUPoliSci for being so welcoming & caring. Also thankful for a celebratory end back at MU being hooded by @LaronKWilliams & Stephen Quackenbush, the two who've been there for me from the start.

The most rewarding thing in my profession is seeing a student you recruited to @Mizzou graduate with her PhD. (Never mind that she's already an assistant professor at @TTUPoliSci). Congratulations, @hmkopp6!

@LaronKWilliams @Mizzou @TTUPoliSci Thank you, Laron! Thanks for being such an incredible DGS and advisor to me for all these years. I'm always grateful to have your support & mentorship. I'd choose Mizzou all over again in a minute if I had to.

@therealmattlamb I'm still very new to town and was surprised to have felt it, but glad to hear it's not that common!

Thought a large truck was driving by my house. Nope. Turns out I just experienced my first earthquake. A 4.8 here in Lubbock.

@Johnkbonilla @uidaho Congratulations, John!! Hope you have a great start to the fall semester!

I am delighted to announce that I have just started a new position as Postdoctoral Fellow at the Idaho Society of Fellows at @uidaho, where I will be teaching and researching topics linked International Relations and armed conflict. 👨‍🎓Investigatio scientiae, esto perpetua🤓🎓

@joelasievert @MizzouTSGPA @LaronKWilliams @BradJNichols Thanks, Joel! I'm excited to head down there soon!

Today, I defended my dissertation @MizzouTSGPA. I feel very lucky to have Stephen Quackenbush and @LaronKWilliams as my advisors, and I genuinely cannot thank them, Bryce Reeder, and @BradJNichols enough for being the best and most supportive committee I could have.
