On Tuesday, September 5th, Discourse in Democracy hosted the Department of Political Science’s annual “Meet The Professors” night. Over 100 students attended the event, giving political science and public administration majors the opportunity to meet and talk with more than two dozen faculty members and learn about the courses they teach, their backgrounds, and their areas of interest.
Students in attendance had a chance to learn about the major, various groups associated with the department including Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society, and SWIPS (Supporting Women in Political Science). Afterwards, students were able to mingle informally with faculty and representatives of the various groups and organizations over pizza and cookies. Taylor McKinion, a political science graduate student who attended the event, said “it was great to see how much the professors care about their students.”
Students in attendance received a wide variety of departmental swag including tee shirts and baseball caps.
