The Association of Political Science Students (APSS) is dedicated to promote an interest in the study of political research, to contribute to a greater sense of departmental community and social involvement. APSS is also an organizational medium through which undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, department administrators, researchers, and organizational leaders can interact on a meaningful level.

Goals & Objectives:
1. To stimulate activity and a feeling of fellowship among political science students;
2. To explore the issues in and the application of the field of political science;
3. To make contacts with other collegiate academic clubs and outstanding workers in the fields. If you have any questions or suggestions about improvement of our association or about events, we are more than welcome to hear from you.

As a department, we like to engage with colleagues and students. The PSIR Lecture Series allows PSIR professors to share some of their findings to generate intellectual discussions as well as to receive useful feedback from their peers. We also have occasional guests from outside the department. During the pandemic, our lectures were held online and you can find many of them on SSH’s Youtube channel.
