Jim Pripusich, PhD Director

Jim Pripusich is the guy who puts you at ease in any conversation. A political scientist by training and a strategist at heart, he brings sharp thinking and a big-picture mindset to every research question. He’s especially skilled at unpacking the “why” behind human attitudes and behaviors and strives to make complex topics and methodologies accessible to any audience. Whether he’s designing a multi-method study or cracking a joke in a kickoff meeting, Jim provides his collaborators with the clarity and confidence they need to make tough decisions. He approaches every project with curiosity, optimism, and a healthy dose of humor. Outside of work, you’ll find him catching live music, digging into Denver’s food scene, or reading both science-fiction and science-fact—always curious, always learning.
