* Providing POLITICAL SCIENCE Graduates with Employment Opportunities

* Providing current Students with Internship Opportunities

Our alumni compose a vast web of experiences and contacts, that could be of great benefit to current  students and graduates– with BA’s MA’s, MPA’s or Ph.D.’s. If your own business or organization has employment or internship opportunities, or you know of someone or some organization that does and you could provide a vital introduction, please contact us. Or, if you would like to meet our current students or be involved in one of our career workshop programs, please let us know.

* Volunteer to be a Guest Speaker

There are other ways to take advantage of that vast web of experience. Would you like to speak to one of our classes, to one of our undergraduate clubs, or specific groups of graduate students? Let us know about your special experiences or specific areas of expertise, as well as your interest in visiting us on campus.

* How You Can help Us Recruit Graduate Students

Many of our alumni have remained in academia. We are always on the lookout for qualified and motivated graduate students– and our best recruiters are our former students. If you know undergraduates who are interested in graduate study, please ask them to consider Political Science at South Carolina. Feel free to contact us or have the students get in touch with us directly.

* Gifts and Giving

Why give? There are many reasons, including a wish to make a difference in the lives of today’s students, in gratitude for the educational experience you received, to honor or memorialize someone you love, or to demonstrate your regard– indeed passion– for research and teaching and to provide support for faculty who are engaged in the enterprise of generating and disseminating knowledge.

The easiest gift to make and the one most often made is the gift of cash. Cash gifts are tax deductible and thus will reduce the “out-of-pocket" cost of the gift. You may make payments with cash, check, or money order, payable to the USC Educational Foundation, with Political Science in the "For" line. They may be mailed or hand-delivered to the Department in Gambrell Hall. Further information on various ways to give may be obtained from the College of ARTS AND SCIENCES Development Office.
