Shopping Period

It was great to see a lot of new faces at the new student concentration fair earlier this week, and we hope that some of you will come out to our first DUG meeting, whose date and time will be announced soon. If there is anything you'd like to learn more about or see put on the agenda, please send us an email at brownpsdug@gmail.com.

Be sure to make use of shopping period and be aware that there are several classes outside of Political Science that count toward department requirements. Also, there have been a few changes to courses within the department. Specifically:

- PS 0100 and PS 1100 will be taught by Dan Ehlke
- PS 1510 will be offered again this fall and will still be taught by Minh Luong
- Two new classes are Foundations of Political Economy and Constitutional Law (Goldstein Thursday 6:30)
- Constitutional Law will be a year long course but each semester will have a different focus; this fall will center on governmental powers while the spring will emphasize individual rights

We're sure you have plenty of events, first meetings, and more to attend this week and while there are no PS-related lectures, there are some relevant CDC events if you're looking ahead to next summer or beyond graduation.

We look forward to working with you all this semester and are planning to host some great events. We also hope to improve communication among undergraduates and within the department. As always, email us if you have any questions, ideas or desire to get involved. Good luck shopping!
