The Undergraduates of Political Science (UPS)

The Undergraduates of Political Science is the official course union for Political Science undergrads at UVic. We would love to hear from you! [email protected]

The Undergraduates of Political Science at UVic is a student-run organization operating year-round. The UPS engages in a number of events throughout the academic year including mixers, pub crawls, career nights, movie nights, debates and discussions. The UPS acts as a liaison between students and faculty, and promotes the department informally throughout campus. The organization works with the dep

artment and the UVic Students' Society (UVSS) to make your experience at UVic fun, creative, and memorable. Involvement in the UPS is a great way for undergraduate students to engage in an informal Political Science atmosphere, exchanging course secrets, swapping books, rating professors, debating the latest political events and forming lifelong friendships. It also looks great on your resume! Consider running for positions on the Executive, which open at the end of the school year. Message us for more info! General membership is open to all students taking at least one Political Science course throughout the year. Visit our website for more information! http://upsatuvic.ca
