Greetings, everyone!

Welcome to the start of the 2024-2025 academic year! I'm excited to kick
things off with some great news and opportunities from Pi Sigma Alpha (PSA).

*Exciting News!*
Our PSA chapter has been awarded the *Best Chapter Award *for 2023-2024!
This honor reflects our collective commitment to advancing scholarship and
fostering intellectual engagement in political science. This reflects great
credit upon our chapter, the department, and UCR! You can read more about
