Departmental Fellows

The designation of Departmental Fellow is an honor bestowed to junior and senior Political Science majors in recognition of outstanding academic achievement.  Designation as a Departmental Fellow carries no responsibilities or obligations, however, the Department will publicly recognize Departmental Fellows in the honors convocation each spring.
