A Facebook AMA with SSRMC Co-Directors Marcus Holmes and Jaime Settle, April 10, 4:30-5 pm

How do I get involved in research as a social science major? How do I apply to graduate school for political science? How can I combine my passions for statistics and politics? If you’ve ever found yourself pondering these questions or something like them, check out the SSRMC’s Facebook live “ask me anything” with SSRMC co-directors Professor Holmes and Professor Settle on Tuesday, April 10, from 4:30-5 pm. For the first time in SSRMC history, our co-directors will be taking questions in a video live stream to help you figure out your path forward. Simply log on to Facebook at any point between 4:30 and 5 pm, find us here, and post your question in the comment section on the live stream. This event will help us kick off our One Tribe, One Day festivities!

In celebration of One Tribe, One Day, come out to the SSRMC’s roundtable conversation on field research in the social sciences! Government professors S.P.

If you’re planning on doing research or writing a thesis in the coming years, this event will be perfect for you! The panel discussion will be moderated by SSRMC co-director Marcus Holmes. We will be live streaming the event on our Facebook page, so you can join us from near or far.
