The Political Science Association
The purpose of the Political Science Association is to provide interested political science students with the opportunity to engage in discussions of political issues, to assist students in learning about political science careers, and to encourage student participation in political activities. This group is open to all majors and minors of Political Science as well as any other students interested in Political Science. In essence, you need not be a major or minor to join the PSA.
It is also a great way to meet others who share an interest in Political Science. Though the organization attempts to analyze events from an objective viewpoint, individual political views inevitably present themselves and have in the past led to some very productive informal debates on the implications of certain events. Thus, this organization should appeal to anyone seeking to analyze events (such as the 2012 Presidential election or the ongoing crisis of Mexican drug cartels) and debate them in an informal setting.
Additionally, the PSA has organized and participated in many events that aim to inform the general student body about various issues in the world of politics. In addition to our monthly bulletin boards, we have participated in or planned:
(More Information Coming Soon)
The PSA typically meets every week (Thursdays @ 6pm in Coleman 2150) and locations of the meetings are announced in classes and posted throughout Coleman Hall. Once again, the organization is open to anyone who is interested in politics, both domestic and international.
Any student interested in joining may contact the Faculty Advisor, Dr. Richard Wandling or the any member of the Executive Board of the PSA:
Alisha Robinson (President)
Samantha White (Vice President)
Tommy Zei (Secretary)
Jacob Caldwell (Treasurer)
