The Canadian Political Science Students’ Association (CPSSA/AÉSPC) is a non-profit organization run by undergraduate students studying in Canada. Every year, the CPSSA/AÉSPC held a conference that allowed students from coast to coast to come together to share knowledge and perspectives on themes within the discipline of Political science. In addition to the conference, the organization publishes its own undergraduate journal called “Expressions”​, and develops a “Graduate Guide”​ for students who require guidance over graduate programs.

Vision

The CPSSA/AÉSPC seeks to educate future leaders in matters or areas on themes and topics related to the discipline of Political Science.

Mission

In providing a national forum for advancing education, the CPSSA/AÉSPC is able to provide universities with a national audience to demonstrate their areas of research.

Values

Run solely by undergraduates, the CPSSA/AÉSPC provides students with various opportunities to study and assess the various social, economic, cultural, health, and environmental dynamics that contribute to future decision-making processes.

Goals

CPSSA is now proud to be working with IAPPS where we are looking forward to engaging with Canadian students and get a chance for young Canadians voices to be able to understand the political world better and bring in their voices globally!

CPSSA hopes to collaborate with IAPPS by planning virtual conferences, coffee breaks, and webinars where students can discuss and engage in political issues with current/former people in the office, professors, researchers, and many more.

About CPSSA President

I am excited to be your CPSSA president and I am proud that CPSSA can be working with IAPPS where we are looking forward to engaging with Canadian students and get a chance for young Canadians voices being able to understand the political world better and bring in their voices globally!

Young people are not looking for a change, we have our own power and with innovation and collaboration, despite this pandemic even though we cannot do in person conferences – my vision is for us to continue to derive ways to still engage and participate in important political issues and understand the world of politics.

I look forward to work virtually with all of you as we have many exciting events coming up in the future!
