Mission

The PS DUG aims to foster community among undergraduates, create opportunities for interaction between students and professors, bring politicians and other individuals to speak at campus, and promote opportunities for students to engage in academic, professional, and social work in the realm of politics.

In furtherance of these goals, we will organize regular meetings for concentrators, informal talks by professors in the political science department, guest lectures by politicians and other individuals involved in government, visits to government sites in Rhode Island, and other events for the benefit of students concentrating in political science.

In this way, the PS DUG seeks to supplement the academic offerings of the political science department by building a community where both students and professors can engage with one another in meaningful ways outside of the classroom.
