Political Science Department - Purdue

📢 Last week, Pi Sigma Alpha and the Department of Political Science hosted its Spring Banquet. The evening honored the outstanding achievements of our Pi Sigma Alpha members and recognized the dedication of our incredible faculty. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable event!

Congratulations to junior Priya McNamara on presenting her co-authored paper with Professor Eric Waltenburg, “The Experiential Profiles of U.S. Circuit Court Judges,” at the MPSA Conference. The paper examines the similarities and differences in the professional trajectories of circuit court judges prior to their appointments to the federal bench.

Beyond her work on this project, Priya is pursuing a major in Computer Science with minors in Political Science and Arabic Language and Cultures.

Well done, Priya, on this impressive accomplishment.
