Seniors majoring in political science who demonstrate high achievement in the discipline, as well as strong academic performance overall, are invited to apply for membership.
Valentina explained, "It [the Society] has connected me to those passionate about political science and public policy both at my university and beyond. I've also been provided with many resources to help me prepare for law school and the professional political science world. As a student working through college, this organization has provided me with exactly what I actually wanted out of my college experience."
"I'm tremendously proud of these new members," said Dr. Charles H. "Trey" Wilson III, Professor of Political Science and faculty advisor to the Xi Kappa chapter. "Earning membership is not easy at all. These students should be commended for their accomplishment."
