Former Political Science faculty member Dr.
Steve Van Winkle passed away on January 13 after a brief illness.
Steve’s great passion and dedication were teaching young people about racial discrimination, civil rights, and inequities in the judicial system. The family suggests anyone wishing to honor his life make a donation to the Southern Poverty Law Center or The Innocence Project. Our deepest sympathies go to Steve’s wife Carolyn and other members of his family. |

Areas of focus are: analysis of government structures, the decision-making processes, policy content, and philosophical traditions. Political scientists examine how governments mediate conflict of competing social, economic, and political values. Of interest also are the political and legal relationships among world nations. |
