Study abroad, clubs and societies for political science and international relations students

The POLS-IR Society was created to give students an opportunity to meet outside of class to discuss political issues and raise awareness around campus.

The society has become a tool to bring together students and members of the department. While many of the events incorporate academic elements, such as the Speakers Series and Apply to Graduate School sessions, other events are focused around fostering long-term friendships among the students of the Department, like getting together to watch movies, election viewing nights, trivia nights and the annual wine and cheese. The Society also manages a student-to-student mentorship program.

The POLS-IR Society is a great way for students to combine their academic interests with social activities.

The Women in Politics/International Relations Society is a newly established group dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that empowers individuals who identify as non-dominant genders in politics and international relations within the Mount Allison community. We achieve this through various events, including celebrating International Women's Day, hosting talks with female political activists, and engaging with local New Brunswick politicians.

Joining the Women in POLS Society is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow women in the program, share experiences, and support one another. We are always welcoming new members and open to activity suggestions.

The Society does so through events such as "PPE Chats," "Meet and Greets," and information sessions about various opportunities, like the Wilson Internships.
