Opportunities for HPS Students
Being a part of the Department of History and Political Science is more than taking classes. It’s a chance to be part a collaborative community that supports your success. From research skills workshops to public speakers, Constitution day tailgating to volunteering in elementary schools, we always have something on the calendar.
