The Mojmir Povolny Prize in Government

Established to honor Professor Mojmir Povolny upon his retirement from the government faculty at Lawrence University (1958-89), this award recognizes an outstanding senior government student. Louisa Olsen is an intellectually curious student in Government who is unafraid to engage in wide-ranging conversations about policy and politics - whether the topic is federal environmental regulation, commercial advertising of kids' cereal, or predicting political outcomes in 1960s Vietnam. She helps bring other students into the conversation and is careful to consider others' viewpoints. Olsen sets a high bar both in discussion and in scholarship, and she encourages others to bring their best as well.
