Purdue University Fort Wayne Department of Political Science

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We are so proud! It's been an amazing year and we will miss all of these amazing students but are excited to see what they do next!

At a recent alumni event, Herr Scholarship recipients Rashida Lan (Political Science), Saron Girma (Political Science), and Maddie Boesch (General Studies/Women's Studies) met up with Thomas Herr to talk about their experiences traveling abroad.

The Herr Scholarship gives a student the opportunity to study in Athens for a full semester by covering their room and board.

We are in the home stretch before finals week and faculty and students are having some fun. Yesterday, Dr. Mike Wolf represented the Political Science Department in a Wipe Out competition. He faced off against Dr. Michelle Kelsey of the Communications Department. Students also got to compete with one another. It was a fun way to end the semester.
