TERMS OF REFERENCE

The Political Science Students Association is a registered student group with the University of Winnipeg Students Association (UWSA). We bring together Political Science students within the university community through social and political events, both on and off campus. Furthermore, we organize a variety of exciting events throughout the year. Joining us is a great way to connect with new people! Our events provide participants with the opportunity to gain new skills and experiences. The PSSA fosters for Political Science students a non-partisan, ongoing discourse on politics, be it local or global.

Anyone with an interest in Political Science at the University of Winnipeg is welcome to participate in  events and activities organized by our group. We pride ourselves on being open to anyone with a genuine interest in politics and who wishes to become involved in some capacity. We especially encourage membership for all Political Science students, as a way to connect and to network with one another.


Meetings:

Our meetings are held during the Free Period (12:30-1:30) on Mondays or Fridays, about once or twice a month; the meeting schedule may vary. All meetings are currently held online due to the still-uncertain COVID-19 situation. Please follow our social media accounts or contact us for information on upcoming meetings. We are looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
