Undergraduate student Michael Danos has been awarded the Hamod Habhab Keeshan Family Scholarship for 2025. This scholarship is in recognition of Kay Keeshan Hamod (PhD '76) and her family, and is given to an outstanding history major pursuing Honors in History. Michael, a third-year student from West Des Moines, is studying history, philosophy, and ethics and public policy.

Michael's honors thesis, “Oh Kinsmen!: Federal Surveillance and the Search for Black Radical Unity,
1918-1924,” argues that the rapid expansion of government surveillance led to the destabilization
of radical Black organizations.
