Sigma

About Us:

Sigma is the National Political Science Honor Society, and is the only honor society for college students of political science and government in the United States. Sigma is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) and is designated as a “Specialized, Upper-Division” society by ACHS.

Our goal with our local Sigma Epsilon Iota chapter is to have students expand on their knowledge on political issues and broaden their horizons for connections 以及未来的教育. 

As the local Epsilon Iota chapter, we strive to…

❖ Encourage political education and conversation from different perspectives in an effort to gain insight and understanding.

❖Honor the legacy of our society, emphasizing scholastic excellence.

❖Further our knowledge and understanding of political ideas.

❖Establish meaningful connections with fellow Epsilon Iotas and national members. Connect with local and state government officials and other political actors.

With this in mind, our chapter has decided to take advantage of the upcoming hybrid semesters by focusing on an online-style of educating our members. 我们计划举办 a multitude of events, ranging from hosting debate nights, study sessions, watching political and relevant documentaries, and more. 

Though we understand that having an online honor society may be difficult at first, we are committed to offering our members and Iotas a rich experience remotely until it is approved to meet in person once again. 

Come join Sigma to get an experience like no other, hosted right here at 圣何塞州立大学. 去斯巴达人!
