Final details for those presenting a poster at the conference:

1. Posters can be picked up from the Political Science department main office (745 KMBL).
2. You are responsible for transporting your poster to the Wilkinson Center Garden Court where the event will be held. Please plan on being there at least half an hour before it starts (12-3).
3. We will give each presenter a hanger to put up their poster. Hangers will be collected immediately following the conference. You will have to sign these back in to avoid being charged for them.
4. There will be light refreshments provided, but you may want to bring your own bottle of water.
5. The poster conference should be treated like a classroom. Masks will be required by presenters and visitors.

We're implementing a new peer mentoring initiative within the Political Science Department! If you are a lowerclassman, this resource is for you! Your peer mentor can answer questions about classes, clubs, opportunities, and just be a friendly and familiar face within the major.

This initiative is being organized by the BYU Political Affairs Society (the main student club in the political science department). We will coordinate who you mentor based on similar interests and opportunities. We'll also sponsor events where you can connect with other students. One of our main goals with this peer mentoring initiative is to help new poli sci majors make connections with other students in the major. Follow the link below if you'd like to sign up!
