What I think is really valuable about the
program it's the faculty, but also the people
that are in there.
I know I've learned a lot in the classroom
and whatever I've done outside of the classroom also
with the students that are there.
There are many people from the country and
from outside the of the country and we believe
different perspectives.
Our professors lookout for us.
They ask us how we are doing on a daily basis.
They check on us.
They.
There's a great sense of community.
One of the things about our major that really
is kind of distinct from other schools is
we have an endowment, the Clayton Russell
fund, which is specific for our political
science majors.
For internships or for academic study.
Thanks to the political science department,
in the summer of 2015 I had the opportunity
to go to Washington, D.C. for two months and
intern with Telemundo Washington and there I
had the opportunity to be in the part of the
country to be around political muse, to be
around you know the headquarters of different
organizations.
So it was really interesting to see all of
what I've learned in the classroom to be in
the history of the United States.
Thanks to the political science department
my sophomore year I was able to go to a conference
at Harvard and then over summer, the past
summer I was able to go to Paris.
It was a course on global conflict ???. It
was basically students that went to the faculty
members and said hey we have found this opportunity,
can we do it?
And every time that a student has that proposal,
they will say yes.
Our professors care so much about us that
they invite speakers from different universities
and different organizations in the political
science field to talk to us and actually give
us a better insight on what we want to do
in life.
If you want to be a political science major
I will say be ready to get our of your comfort
zone.
That is the only way you will be able to get
the full potential of the experience.
