We welcome visits from our alumni. Either contact one of your favorite professors, (the Chair), or (the Office Coordinator). We would be happy to set aside time to meet you and we can arrange a meeting with current students in the program.
The Department is excited about keeping in touch with its alumni. Let us know your email address. Please drop a line to with your name, address, year of graduation and degree. We will keep you informed of news and events in the Department. Also, tell us about your career and send along a picture. We are featuring alumni on the web site! Keep in touch!
Our alumni have been very generous in the past in supporting student and faculty activities in the Department of Political Science. This support enables students to participate in regional and national activities, gain valuable experience in internships, attend conferences, and study abroad. Any unrestricted development funds are used to exclusively to support our students. If you can help, please print out the attached pdf file, fill it out and send in. We will be very grateful!
In addition to our general scholarship and development fund, we have created a fund in honor of the contributions of former Professor Bill Ritchie. Contributions can be directed to the "William A. Ritchie Memorial Fund."
