The BYU Political Science graduating class of <strong>2023</strong> spent some of their undergraduate<br />

education within the shadow of a global pandemic. Much of their education has been shrouded<br />

by a period of particularly virulent divisiveness in U.S. Politics. During the last year of their<br />

undergraduate education, a war persisted in Ukraine with global political and economic<br />

implications. Tensions and wars persist around the world. The study of politics has never been<br />

more relevant. The year <strong>2023</strong> moving forward is a time when we all need to be increasingly<br />

sensitive to the world around us, both locally and internationally, and the Political Science<br />

Department hopes to have nurtured skills that will serve our students in an increasingly<br />

challenging and complex global community. Problems need to be solved, people need to<br />

be understood, different perspectives need to be acknowledged. Our students are ready for<br />

the challenges ahead, and we want to acknowledge, herein, some of their accomplishments<br />

and plans for the future. We congratulate all of our students on a job well done, and we hope<br />

they will keep in touch with us. We’re here to help, not just for a semester, or just for an<br />

undergraduate education, but for a lifetime of intellectual support. Congratulations to our<br />

Political Science graduates for <strong>2023</strong>!!<br />
