political science mentorship program

Started in 2015, the Political Science Mentorship Program (PSMP) is a student-run program designed by the PSSA to allow younger students to connect with upper-year peers to maximize their potential. We know that the best advice comes from experience; our goal is to create peer relationships between senior and junior political science majors, to facilitate the transfer of wisdom to the next generation of students.

Our mentors are selected through a rigorous process, on the recommendation of political science faculty, with the requirement of high educational attainment, good academic standing, and sufficient familiarity with the political science program to provide insightful perspectives on program choices, coursework, and other aspects of university life.
