Please join us in congratulating both Sharanya Rao and Kate AuBuchon for being awarded Dean's Graduate Instructorships for next year. As part of this award, they will be designing and independently instructing their own GW undergraduate courses (Dean's seminars), which will make fabulous additions to our current course offerings. Kate's course, Social Psychology of Bias, Discrimination, and Inequality, will be offered in the fall, and Sharanya's course, An Antiracist, Decolonial (Re)Imagination of Mainstream Psychology, will be offered in the spring.

Congrats to you both!
