Giving Back to the Future

Alumni and friends have been of critical importance to the ability of the faculty, staff and students to meet the mission of the Department of Government.  By contributing to an existing scholarship endowment or creating a new one to reflect your values and interests, you are invited to join others who share your passion for political science, public affairs and international relations.  To discuss the ways that you can make your mark in a way that serves future students, the faculty, and the field of study, please contact the Department head, Dr. Neil Harvey at nharvey@nmsu.edu.  Thank you for your continuing support.
