On Tuesday, November 18, Supporting Women in Political Science (SWIPS) hosted a meeting attended by 17 of their members. The meeting’s focus was civic engagement. The meeting opened with updates on upcoming opportunities for internships and scholarships, as well as future events within SWIPS and the Department of Political Science as a whole.
Members shared the various ways they engage civically before officers shared clear definitions of civic engagement and substantive examples. Officers then discussed opportunities to get involved within the City of San Marcos as a way to give back to the community.
Before wrapping up the meeting, officers shared additional ways to get involved and participate in the upcoming 2026 Texas elections. Refreshments were provided for all attendees, making the meeting an even more wonderful experience.
SWIPS is a nonpartisan women’s organization at Texas State University. This professional education and development organization is dedicated to helping political science majors and other students explore the various aspects of political science, enabling them to pursue their professional and academic interests. SWIPS meets every other Tuesday at 6:00PM in THH 406.
