From the Presidential Perspective sent on February 1:
The Center for Public Justice has awarded its prestigious 2024 Hatfield Prize to a Baylor student/faculty team to conduct a semester-long research project on social policies that impact vulnerable children, families and communities, and explore the impact of these policies locally. As Hatfield Prize recipients, senior mechanical engineering major Jackson Boone and political science lecturer Colby Humphrey, Ph.D., will focus their research on workforce development efforts in Waco through a Christian faith lens while contributing to policies that promote flourishing communities. The Hatfield Prize honors the legacy of the late Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, who was known for integrating his Christian faith and his public policy commitments. Congratulations to Jackson and Dr. Humphrey for this impressive recognition.
