|
|
ICPSR, in the midst of celebrating its 60th anniversary, is excited to announce another milestone: Robert (Rob) J. Franzese Jr. will be the 10th director of the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research.
“The Consortium is extraordinarily pleased that Rob has agreed to assume the leadership of the ICPSR Summer Program,” said ICPSR Director Margaret Levenstein. “Rob’s passion for teaching methods and for building an inclusive social science community echo the values of the Summer Program. He brings the experience of a long-time instructor in the program and the vision of an innovative political methodologist. As the program begins preparations to welcome its 60th cohort, we are confident that, with Rob’s leadership, the program will continue to provide impactful experiences for its participants that transform social science itself. We are also extremely grateful to Mike Traugott for the steady, yet nimble hand that he has provided over the last three, very challenging summers,” Levenstein said.
