This is the twelfth time that the chapter has received this award, which is quite an achievement!
These awards are intended to recognize local chapters that are particularly active in their institutions and communities and embody our society’s mission to stimulate scholarship and intellectual interest in political science. Dr. Bess Davis serves as faculty advisor to the chapter and should be recognized for her extraordinary leadership and dedication to the students who are members of the chapter.
The Beta Tau chapter will be awarded along with five other chapters from institutions similar in size, out of over 850 Pi Sigma Alpha chapters. We were impressed with the chapter’s achievements in developing activities supporting student career development, especially given the significant challenges faculty and students around the country continue to face.
The award includes a cash prize of $500 for the chapter, as well as an additional $200 to the advisor for their service. In addition, winners will be featured in the American Political Science Association’s magazine, Political Science Today.
