The POLS-IR Society was created to give students an opportunity to meet outside of class to discuss political issues and raise awareness around campus.

The society has become a tool to bring together students and members of the department. While many of the events incorporate academic elements, such as the Speakers Series and Apply to Graduate School sessions, other events are focused around fostering long-term friendships among the students of the Department, like getting together to watch movies, election viewing nights, trivia nights and the annual wine and cheese. The Society also manages a student-to-student mentorship program.

The POLS-IR Society is a great way for students to combine their academic interests with social activities.
