UBC Political Science Students' Association - UBC PSSA

The official page of the UBC Political Science Students' Association. Check out our website!

The PSSA is an entirely student-run department club, supported by the UBC Political Science department. We strive to provide all undergraduate students interested in political science with opportunities to learn more about the discipline by hosting entertaining and informative events, and social events that connect them with other students with similar interests. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a prosperous undergraduate environment for political science students. The PSSA represents the interests of students, and presents them to the faculty, which means we take concerns and suggestions seriously, in such a way that can make an actual difference in student life. For general inquiries, please contact [email protected]
