A nationally recognized scholar in the fields of survey research, quantitative social science, and political behavior, Nie is a two-time winner of the Woodrow Wilson award for the best book published in political science (1976, 1997) and winner of the 2009 Hallett Award, which is given by the American Political Science Association to books that have made a lasting contribution to the literature on representation and electoral systems. In 2006, Nie received the Lifetime Achievement award from the American Association of Public Opinion Research.
Norman Nie served for many years as Professor in the Political Science department at the University of Chicago, including two terms as chair. He was also, for many years, a Senior Study Director at the National Opinion Research Center. He joined the Stanford faculty in 1998 to establish SIQSS.
Norman Nie also is highly regarded within the IT industry as the co-founder of SPSS, and was for many years its president and CEO. Under his leadership, SPSS, Inc. became one of the nation's leading software companies dedicated to the widespread use of statistics.
In 2009, Nie was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems.
Norman Nie's dual professional achievements make him uniquely qualified to lead an institution dedicated to a scholarly understanding of the effect of IT on society.
