Support the Department
The Department of Political Science’s long tradition in political philosophy has enriched the study and practice of political life in Canada and helped bring what is unique in the Canadian experience to the rest of the world.
With enhanced community support, one of the world’s best departments of political science will be able to build a global scholarly reputation and expand the prime research and learning opportunities available to students.
Make your donationFor well over a century, students interested in politics have completed graduate and undergraduate programs in our department and made their mark around the globe. Each year, their ranks are expanded by several hundred undergraduate majors and specialists, more than 40 MA graduates, and about 20 completed PhDs.
As in the past, they go on to become leaders in all avenues of life. Their voices are heard in government, NGOs, business, the arts, law, universities, public policy, and the media. Political Science alumni are always welcome at the many special events that the department sponsors or co-sponsors — public seminars, conferences, social events.
Community Friends of Political Science
The department is keenly aware that many of the public seminars, lectures, and conferences that it sponsors have a broad interest in the community.
Whether a graduate of the department or not, anyone interested in keeping abreast of such developments is warmly welcomed to contact us to ensure regular notification of events.
One-on-One Mentorship Program
The Political Science Alumni mentorship program provides an avenue for professional development for our senior year students and gives alumni an opportunity to engage with the Political Science Department by sharing knowledge and experiences in the work force.
Other Ways to Get Involved
Meet with students to talk about your education and career path since graduation. Political Science coordinates Leadership Lunches, the Backpack to Briefcase program and the Explore It program in addition to our one-on-one mentorship program. These activities offer opportunities to students at all level of their studies to meet with successful alumni and engage in conversations about their future.
