Grad School and Goings on

Midterms are just getting going, and so are a lot of exciting events around campus. The DUG is continuing efforts to host our own events to cater to the interests of PS concentrators. Our next event, a panel about graduate studies co-sponsored with the Public Policy DUG, is described below:

Come join the Political Science DUG and Public Policy DUG on October 19, 12 pm at Prospect House to learn more about graduate school options.

Suzanne Brough, administrative coordinator of graduate programs in Political Science, and Jennifer Slattery-Bownds, the MPP program director at Taubman, will be there to discuss graduate programs. Graduate students from Brown's own programs will also discuss their own experiences.

Other upcoming events:

Thursday, October 15, 6:30 pm @ Joukowsky (Watson): Safety Nets, Bouncy Castles, and Decoupled Couples: Government Reactions to the Economic Crisis Across the World with Mark Blyth.

Tuesday, October 20, 12 pm @ Taubman: Brown Bag Series presents "Making Policy from the Statehouse to the White House: What They Don't (and Do) Teach You in School" with Eric Schruner '80, adjunct lecturer, former speechwriter for Jimmy Carter and current policy consultant.

Thursday, October 22, 4 pm @ Joukowsky (Watson): "A European Perspective on Healthcare and a Comparison with US Reforms" with former Italian PM Romano Prodi and his wife, professor of politics for social inclusion, Flavia Franzoni.

Enjoy the weekend, whether it's with your parents or dining as the guest of a friend's parents, and don't forget--pre-registration comes faster than you think! Take a look at the offerings, requirements, and attend our next DUG event, October 28, on course selection.
