Opportunity to volunteer for Eric Costello
Dear Students,

Councilman Eric Costello is running for election in Baltimore's 11th District.

As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to meet and connect with constituents, and canvass our neighborhoods to spread the word about Councilman Costello and to get out the vote for the April election.

In addition to canvassing and phone calling, we could use your help in various areas, such as research, social media, and fundraising. This is an excellent opportunity to gain insight into campaigns, and a chance to meet people in the campaign and policy field.

For more information, please contact:

Hello Students,

Have you written a really good research paper in political science over the past year? Why let that paper sit in your computer? Why not present it to a larger audience?

There are two possibilities for you to present your work this spring:

1. The Pi Sigma Alpha undergraduate research conference in political science is on April 6th from 11am to 1pm. This is a smaller conference in which twelve political science students present their work to the political science student body and faculty as poster presentations. For this conference, we will be able to provide you a poster and a printout of your presentation using funds our Department's Pi Sigma Alpha chapter received from a grant. There will also be sessions to help you prepare your poster for presentation. If you are interested in this conference, please send a paper title and abstract to Carolyn Forestiere (forestie@umbc.edu) by March 3rd. 

2. UMBC's URCAD (undergraduate research and creative achievement day) is on April 27th this year. This is a much larger event in which hundreds of UMBC undergraduates from different disciplines will present their work, either as poster or oral presentations. For more information and to apply for URCAD, please see the application form (due February 23rd) on this website: http://ur.umbc.edu/urcad/forms/

Both conferences provide an excellent opportunity for you to get conference experience and to engage with a larger audience about your ideas. 

Please let me know if you have any questions! 

All best,
Carolyn Forestiere
