DC Campaign with Indigogo: Jaidon needs people who are willing to appear on the campaign video. If you are willing to do so, contact Jadion at jbrown68@aug.edu.
Orgsync: It is very important that we get as many members signed up on ASU’s Orgsync as we can. If you have not already, please set up your account at www.orgsync.org. After you've made your profile, add the Political Science Club to your groups: https://orgsync.com/join/21465/political-science-club. It takes less than five minutes of your time and helps a lot for getting funding from Student Activities. For questions, please email one of the club officers.
Sponsorship Drive: Continue pursuing those sponsorship opportunities! Remember, a sponsorship is required from those members who plan on going to D.C. in May. The person with most sponsorships wins a $100 VISA gift card.

What is the point of the Political Science Club?
The objectives of this organization are to help members acquire broader knowledge of politics, stimulate participation in the political process, and help students become productive, contributing members of their community.
What type of activities does the Political Science Club offer?
Last semester we hosted a lot of great activities including Brown Bag discussions (on illegal immigration, the midterm elections, and the use of torture). We also had several social events including our Halloween get-together, Basketball Game and Mellow Mushroom outing, and our faculty and student social. We hope that this semester brings even more fun and lively discussion. In addition to the events above, we also did several community events such as volunteering at the Boy’s and Girl’s Club Fun Run, and administered a Practice LSAT for those students preparing for law school.
DUES: $25year/ $15 Semester (DUE JANUARY 27, 2011)
