Announcement

The family of Nelson W. Polsby and UC Berkeley are pleased to announce that they have established a fund to support UCB graduate students who are interested in studying the United States Congress.

In the event that no student is found in a given year to study Congress, the award will go to a student who is studying the Presidency — and barring that, to a student who is studying US political parties.

We hope that the Nelson W. Polsby Memorial Graduate Student Fund will encourage the kind of research Nelson valued and enjoyed most.
