The initiative recognizes campuses for planning and implementing practices that encouraged students to register and vote in the 2016 general election and for setting goals to keep students politically engaged for years to come.

Over spring break Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropology, presented a paper based on the preliminary findings of his recent fieldwork in Nepal exploring labor brokerage and labor migration to the Arab Gulf States. (He talked with us last fall about this project on the What We Do podcast.) Gardner subsequently met with his research team in Doha, at University College of London’s branch campus in Qatar, as part of the research project titled "National Museums and the Public Imagination: A Longitudinal Study of the National Museum of Qatar." He concluded his week on the Arabian Peninsula by presenting a paper at American University of Kuwait’s third annual Gulf Studies Symposium, titled "Mobilities and Materialities of the Gulf and Arabian Peninsula."
