The Board of Directors of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University is pleased to announce that Scott Keeter, Senior Survey Advisor at the Pew Research Center, is the recipient of the 2026 Warren J. Mitofsky Award for Excellence in Public Opinion Research.
The award recognizes Scott’s extraordinary impact on public opinion research over several decades. He made his mark in the field in many ways -- as a scholar, a practitioner, a teacher, and a servant of the profession, operating in each of these roles with remarkable dedication and skill. This alone would set him apart, but he is also an exceptional human being, acting with kindness, modesty, compassion, and a gentle sense of humor in every situation.
