On Thursday, February 22nd, Supporting Women in Political Science (SWIPS) hosted their second meeting of the semester featuring Dr. Lauren Rowlands. Dr. Rowlands, a lecturer who joined the department in the fall of 2022, spoke to the group about what kind of jobs are available after obtaining a Political Science/Public Administration degree. She also discussed internships and many other opportunities that members could seek in the field of Political Science.
Following the discussion, the vice president of SWIPS shared information about the upcoming election and discussed future department events. Students and attendees were then able to enjoy the provided food and drink while planning their next meeting.
This meeting ended with a series of questions, and officers encouraged members to attend a workshop day designed for members to get a better feel for what they would like to pursue in the future.
SWIPS is a nonpartisan women’s organization at Texas State University. They are a professional education and development organization centered around aiding political science majors and other students with exploring all facets of political science so they may discover their professional and academic interests.
