Daniel Schillinger, Lecturer in Political Science, has been awarded the 2025 Buckley Institute Lux et Veritas Faculty Prize.
The Lux et Veritas Faculty Prize honors faculty who go above and beyond to facilitate open discussion and debate in the classroom, creating an environment where all perspectives are welcome.
Schillinger stood out for motivating his students to avoid ideological shortcuts and develop their own conclusions on big-picture issues.
In recognition of his support for open dialogue and debate in the classroom, the Buckley Institute will present Dr. Schillinger with a memorial plaque and a $10,000 prize during a celebratory event in the fall. The ceremony will feature a discussion with Dr. Schillinger and reception.
Daniel is the third member of the Department of Political Science to be awarded this prize. Previous Political Science recipients include Gregory Collins and Mordechai Levy-Eichel.
