OSU President Gordon Gee visited
the March 2009 faculty meeting to present awards to Larry Baum and
Tony Mughan. Larry Baum received the University Distinguished
Scholar Award, joining previous winners in the Department, including
Greg Caldeira, Paul Beck, Dick Gunther, and emeritus Professors Brad
Richardson and Pat Patterson. Larry has previously won the
University Distinguished Teaching Award. He received an award from
the APSA's Law and Courts section for his Judges and Their
Audiences book for the best book published in 2006. His newest
project is a book on the specialized courts. Even the time taken by
his service as our Honors Advisor does not diminish his research
excellence.
Tony Mughan received the
University Distinguished Service Award,
joining previous winners in the Department, including Paul Beck,
Dick Gunther, and Rick Herrmann. Tony has chaired some of the
University Senate's most important committees, including the
Committee for Academic Freedom and Responsibility, the Faculty
Compensation and Benefits Committee, and the Steering Committee,
always championing faculty interests. And he does this service
while maintaining a vital research program with a constant stream of
articles in the top journals in addition to directing the
Undergraduate International Studies Program.
Mueller Receives Susan Strange Award
John Mueller has been awarded the 2009 Susan
Strange Award from the International Studies Association. This
Award was established in 1983 to recognize a person whose singular
intellect, assertiveness, and insight most challenge conventional
wisdom and intellectual and organizational complacency in the
international studies community. Previous recipients include Rudy
Rummel, Steve Brams, J. David Singer, Frank Zagare, George Modelski,
Cynthia Enloe, and Hayward Alker.

Several Political Science graduate students received awards
