The annual Mitofsky Award event is the primary fundraising activity hosted by the Roper Center Board of Directors. Funds raised are allocated specifically to support the enrichment of the archive and the cultivation of diversity and scholarship within the field of public opinion polling. The award itself honors the life and work of the late Warren J. Mitofsky – an innovator in survey research and longtime chair of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research Board of Directors.
This year's ceremony will be a virtual event held on November 12th, 2020 at 4PM. Ticket and Supporter information are listed below.
The Board of Directors of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University is pleased to announce that Karlyn Bowman, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, is the recipient of the 2020 Warren J.
