B. U. Women in Political Science
Mission Statement
Adopted February 17, 2005
B.U. Women in Political Science was founded in the Fall of 2004 to create an environment that allows women to better integrate into and succeed in the political science community. Our organization is designed to facilitate discussion of gender-specific issues, sharing professional and personal experiences to assist members in developing the skills necessary for an academic career and how to best accommodate both professional and family aspirations. We accomplish these goals by offering opportunities for faculty and students to interact professionally and socially both inside and outside the regular academic environment, by encouraging female faculty to act as role models for female students, and by stimulating student interaction to ensure a more efficient and supportive learning experience. A key goal of the organization is to create a positive learning and working environment in which women in political science can thrive and succeed.
