Our goals is to bring attention to issues and concerns affecting graduate and PhD students in the discipline and to provide input to the APSA Council and staff on policies and programs to effectively engage and support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although graduate students make up a large portion of the political science community, their voices are not always represented in decision-making bodies, meaning that discipline-wide policies and priorities may not affect graduate students&#8217; concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019d like you to know that we are here to serve YOU. The committee works hard to make your journey as a student and in the profession a little easier by offering discussions, panels, research papers, and resources including access to job listings.
