PS FAIR IS TODAY!!! 3:00, 4th Floor of DKH

All students on campus are invited to attend the PS FAIR.  On Tuesday, September 10, from 3:00-5:30, on the 4th floor of David Kinley Hall, the Department of Political Science will host its annual Political Science Major Fair. At that event, you can learn about our internship offerings, meet the Pre-Law Advisor, discover study abroad opportunities — some led by faculty from the Department, explore the political science major or even become interested in our honors program.  You can meet the present and past heads of the department, other faculty, advisors and students interested in political science.

Majors, of course, are already invited to this event but minors and prospective majors and minors or even just interested students are all welcome at this event.  Many students – who aren’t political science majors – have enjoyed Illinois in Washington, study abroad trips with our faculty as well as our regular courses.  Bring a friend. If you can’t come, send a friend.
