The Department of Political Science invites your support for our Teaching and Mentorship Fund. This fund directly enhances students’ educational experiences by supporting smaller class sizes, hands-on learning opportunities, and meaningful research collaborations with faculty and graduate students. These resources allow us to mentor the next generation of leaders, scholars, and public servants while sustaining the excellence that has defined our department for decades. Your generosity helps ensure that a first-rate political science education remains accessible and transformative for our students.
