Welcome to Week 4 of the Games Club!
As a reminder, we will be In-Person both Tonight (3/8) and Thursday (3/10) from 7pm-10:00pm!
Both of these meetings will be in ILSB 116b, where we will be hosting Board Games and DnD!
Next Tuesday 3/15 we will be having our first club event! It will be a Dice Throne tournament! This week we will be testing out the game for those interested and having signups both this Tuesday and Thursday at club. If you are interested but can not make it to club this week message Bryce through discord and let him know.
For all those who enter, only one will come out crowned the Dice Throne Champion. Best of luck to you all!
Featured this week for Board Games, we have Mysterium and Deception Murder Mystery, with a chance to try out Dice Throne before the tournament!
On the DnD side of things we have adventures you can join, but The Gates of Frostfell is featured as our one-time adventure (for this, prepare a level 3 character if you can, but if you do not know how to make one, no worries! We can help)
As always, if you want to recruit for your own DnD games or bring your board games to the club, we greatly encourage it!
Finally, we have our time to allow players to come in and out as they please; you are welcome to join at any time and stay as long as you wish!
Hope we see you there!

Dates: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 to Friday, June 10, 2022The Georgetown University Political Science Predoctoral Summer Institute is a week-long training program for students who are considering pursuing a PhD in political science or a closely related field. The Institute offers an opportunity to meet other undergraduate students with similar interests, and to interact and network with faculty and graduate students from Georgetown University. You will learn more about the substance and methods of political science and about political science PhD programs, discuss your research interests, and workshop application materials.
What are our goals?
The discipline of political science poses and answers critical questions about governance and power. The questions our discipline asks depend in large part on who is posing them. For political science to contribute to meeting the diverse challenges of the 21st century, faculty and graduate students must have the background, expertise, and perspective to engage in fundamentally new thinking, questioning, and theorizing. The Political Science Predoctoral Summer Institute (PS-PSI) seeks to encourage those outcomes by increasing the diversity of applicants to political science PhD programs; boosting the acceptance rate of under-represented and disadvantaged students; enhancing the diversity of PhD programs; and thereby improving inclusion and equity in the profession and contributing to a more comprehensive study of politics.
Application deadline: March 15, 2022
Space is limited, so please apply early!
What is included?
The PS-PSI pays for your travel expenses and for your lodging at Georgetown, and provides you with a $1,000 stipend. We offer you relevant materials in advance of the PS-PSI to help you prepare; provide the materials you will use at the Institute; and connect you with excellent resources to help you continue your path forward after the Institute.
Who should apply?
We encourage applications from juniors and seniors attending colleges and universities in DC, DE, MD, VA, and WV, who are majoring in and have demonstrated academic achievement in political science or a similar field of study, and hope to apply to a doctoral program in the next two years. The Institute is especially interested in students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds who are likely to contribute to political science meeting the diverse challenges of the 21st century.
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions for some additional thoughts and suggestions about the PS-PSI and applying to join us.
