Chair’s Welcome Note
I am pleased to welcome you to the latest edition of the Department of Sociology newsletter! It is always rewarding to take a moment to reflect on the outstanding work of our students, alumni, and faculty members.
Inside our newsletter you will find a description of excellent projects completed by the Spring 2026 sociology capstone students who worked under the leadership of Dr. Justin Berg.
We hope that you will also enjoy reading about Sociology alumna Dr. Allyssa Baumbach. Alyssa earned both her BA and MA in Sociology at UND!
You can also learn what Alpha Kappa Delta (the Sociology Honor Society) accomplished this past Spring Semester under the leadership of Dr. Joe Jochman.
This edition also includes an update on a recent grant awarded to Dr. Justin Berg and highlights from the Celebrating Sociology event held on April 24, 2026.
We would love to hear from you! Please drop us a quick email to let us know what you have been up to!
