The College of Arts & Sciences is home to many distinguished researchers, faculty, and students. Their work and contributions have been featured in media outside of the UW and across the country. Take a look at some ArtSci features from this past Winter Quarter.
In our annual Career Conversations, alumni share their personal and professional stories with undergraduates. What do they do? How did they get there? Are they doing what they thought they would be doing upon graduation? How did their UW Political Science degree prepare them for their careers? This year students heard from and asked questions of Lindsay Scola and John Amaya.
Last spring, out of curiosity, I searched the LinkedIn career website for people who included a degree in political science from the University of Washington on their profiles. It was really fun to explore what many graduates of the department are doing and how they got there.
The student leaders of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society, are raising funds to support their annual end of year dinner for students and faculty. To do this, they are offering one of a kind UW Political Science swag! The sweatshirts say “UW” on the front and "Department of Political Science | University of Washington" on the back.
When I tell someone that I teach Political Science at the University of Washington, the response is usually along the lines of “You must have a lot to talk about!” or “These must be very interesting times for a Political Scientist!” Both are observations are true of course.
