Young Scholars
Calling
All
Recent Ph.D.s & Advanced Graduate Students
You are cordially invited to attend the business meeting at the upcoming APSA meeting to discuss the formation of a Young Scholars Committee to better represent the goals and interests of those in the early stages of their academic careers.
The Political Communication Section of APSA would like to encourage recent Ph.D.s and advanced graduate students to get more involved in the workings of our section. At the business meeting, we will brainstorm about the following items:
Creating networking opportunities with senior scholars,
Establishing a mentor program,
Inventing programs/competitions to give professional recognition and honor to young scholars,
Proposing seed grants for graduate student and junior faculty research projects, and
Any other ideas that you propose!
Please get in touch with Amy Jasperson if you are interested in participating in the genesis of this exciting new group or if you have names and e-mail addresses of any young scholars who should receive news about this section.
We look forward to seeing you in September!
