“The Political Science department is recruiting participants for a 1-year mentoring program for students with an interest in majoring in Political Science. This program is called Political Science Horizons at Penn State. We will be recruiting 20 students. All first-year through third-year students are eligible for the program and we especially encourage first generation students, students of color, veterans and LGBTQ students to apply. The program will consist of a series of workshops and events held during the fall and spring semesters of 2024-2025. These will give students valuable academic and career related information and skills (for example, how to find scholarships and internships, fund internships and study abroad programs, provide writing and statistics support, help prepare job market materials, provide opportunities to meet with Political Science alumni and learn about Political Science careers, and meet with prominent speakers). Horizons will also sponsor fun events for students to socialize with their fellow program members.
The application deadline is Friday, September 13, successful applicants will be notified by September 16 and program events will begin September 23.”
