Alumnus Evan Gildenblatt said ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s peace and conflict studies program intially appealed to him because it was so broadly applicable to everyday life. Today, he uses the skills he learned while earning his Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Conflict Studies in his role as a judicial law clerk at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in Cincinnati.
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Today recently reached out to Michael Ensley, associate professor of Political Science, about what to watch for in the final weeks leading up to the November 8 election.
