At its regular meeting in Colorado Springs on June 4, the University of Colorado Board of Regents unanimously approved a resolution condemning the June 1 attack in Boulder that injured 15 participants in a peaceful vigil supporting Israeli hostages. “This unprovoked, violent act specifically targeted the Jewish community, reflecting a broader and very troubling escalation of antisemitism in the broader community,” states the resolution.
Sarah Wilson Sokhey, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at CU Boulder, where she also is the founding director of the Studio Lab for Undergrad Research. It matches undergraduate students with faculty projects, paying them to work with faculty mentors. The lab also hosts social events and professional training opportunities. Sokhey’s research focuses on the relationship between politics and economics, emphasizing social policies including pensions and higher education. Last year, she was named to the latest cohort of President’s Teaching Scholars at CU.
