Political Science Student
Club
After a period of dormancy for the Political Science Forum, we
are making an extra effort to see it reorganized and rejuvenated
for this coming Fall. It is envisioned that the Forum may
organize a current issues series of evening events, in each case
featuring either a video or a speaker followed by discussion,
perhaps including a member of the political science faculty as a
resource person, if desired. This club is open to all students,
whether or not they are majors or concentrates in political
science.
Internship Program
Among the roles of CCSU interns this semester were working for
the House Chair of Appropriations Committee, for members of the
House majority leadership, as well as for legislative leaders in
the Senate, and work related to such matters as the appointment
of minority judges, regulating health care, and auto safety
legislation. One intern spent the semester with New Britain's
new mayor. If you are interested in earning credit for political
or administrative experience, see Professor Antonia Moran, who
administers the political science department's internship
program. She is a lawyer by training, having earned her J.D.
from the University of Connecticut Law School, with experience
as a lobbyist as well. Professor Moran teaches our courses in
constitutional law, civil liberties, administrative law, and
women and American law, as well as sections of state and local
government and American government.
Overseas Activities
Students who are interested in international and comparative
subfields of political science have opportunities to study
abroad and to participate in Model United Nations conferences,
broadening their understanding in these areas. CCSU has
participated in model U.N. conferences in Korea and Egypt in
recent years. For information about these opportunities, see Dr.
El-Eid.
