Majors’ Awards
The Department of Political Science confers two awards to students annually, the Political Science Excellence Award, for academic achievement, and the John M. Lewis Award for Civic Engagement. Many of our majors have also been honored with a variety of other awards and scholarships, including the Chancellor’s Honors Scholarship, the Dean’s Scholarship for the Social and Behavioral Sciences, Phi Beta Delta International Honors Society, and Who’s Who. Many have also received first, second and third place awards for their participation in the Midwest Model EU.
