UGA Political Science Department

Last weekend, our faculty and PhD students finished off the academic year at our annual spring picnic! The weather was great and so was the food and company. Hoping everyone has a great start to their summer. We'll see you next year!

Congrats to our newly tenured Dr. Ornstein!

Last week our Political Science students were presenting their work to others, showcasing the strong research-centered education SPIA offers its students. Political Science undergrad Treyven Jamison presented his work at our SPIA Undergraduate Research Colloquium and Political Science graduate student Josh Baldwin presented co-authored research at the Midwest Political Science Association conference in Chicago. Congrats on showcasing your hard work, Treyven and Josh!
