The instructors in the Political Science Department not only teach you potential ways to analyze world affairs, but they also motivate you to learn more, research more, and question more. Through a Research Opportunity Course, I had the rare opportunity to conduct primary research in Washington DC. I met with political affairs ministers and ambassadors from the Canadian and Mexican Embassies, policymakers from the US government, researchers from leading think tanks, professors, and a variety of other experts on my topic. The discussions I had in Washington provided a rich context for my research. — Sarah Yun, Winner of the Alexander Mackenzie Scholarship in Political Science

    Hi Anna,

    As a Political Science student, I am curious about the presentation, however, I have a 10:00-12:00 class that day. Is there any sort of guidance and/or recommendations you could possibly give me otherwise, that pertains to the presentation? Thank you.

    Dear Davin,

    This event was actually from last year!

    You are more than welcome to visit Anna during her office hours (Tuesdays 4-6pm in SS3035) for any extra guidance on internships.

    This specific event is not held this year but there are other events similar in focus (post-graduate career development) which are advertised through the APSS and the undergraduate listserve.
