Pi Sigma Alpha is the National Political Science Honor Society. Albany's chapter was formed to provide dedicated Political Science majors with a forum to have their voices heard within the Department of Political Science and nationally. Pi Sigma Alpha gives members a chance to participate in and plan lectures, debates, and national essay contests. In addition, Pi Sigma Alpha is an excellent way for students who excel academically to meet with peers, professors, and staff of the Political Science department. Pi Sigma Alpha gives Political Science honor students a voice at the University at Albany.
