About
Mission Statement:
The purpose of The Political Science Student Association (PSSA) is to provide events, networking opportunities, professional development, and more for students interested in or declared in the Political Science major or certificate. It was created for students by students to establish a welcoming community within the major and certificate programs. PSSA is a non-partisan organization that values and respects the viewpoints and contributions of all students.
PSSA seeks to provide students a variety of opportunities and experiences to help further develop their academic and career goals. We offer opportunities to build community and gain support through events and meetings including relevant speakers, debates, career development workshops, study groups, and socials.
Speakers include a variety of experts ranging from highly regarded faculty with expertise on pertinent political topics to successful alumni in the workforce.
An integral aspect of our organization is the value of building connections with other students. Older students serve as mentors and offer relevant advice to help young students begin forging their career and academic paths. We involve young, successful alumni throughout this process. Their advice and insight are channeled to help prepare students for the excitement of entering the workforce!
