New Facebook group for IR/Political Science Alumni
There is now a facebook group for alumni of the Department of Political Science's B.A. and M.A. programs in Political science and International Relation. The group is maintained by Dr. Jamey Essex, a member of the Political Science faculty at Windsor, and is designed to facilitate links with alumni of the Political Science and IR programs. If you are a graduate of one of our programs and have a profile on facebook, please join this group, so that you can connect with fellow classmates, tell us how and what you've been up to since graduation, and keep up with current events and news from the department. If you would like to tell us what you've been doing since graduating from Windsor with your PS or IR degree, please email Dr. Essex (jessex@uwindsor.ca, or message him through facebook) or Grad Chair (polsci@uwindsor.ca) with an update, and let us know if we can use your name and experience for promoting, expanding and improving the department and our programs.
