Mission Statement
IMPACT, SCU's Political Science Student Association, empowers students to transform their academic passions into real-world impact. We cultivate civic awareness, foster community engagement, and open doors to professional growth by connecting students with opportunities in political science and related fields. Through mentorship, advising, access to resources, and a strong alumni network, we guide students as they navigate their academic and career journeys. By championing collaboration, dialogue, and service, we strive to shape leaders who not only excel in their fields but also drive meaningful change in their communities and society at large.
We live out our mission through the values at the heart of our name:
- I – Integrity: Leading with honesty, ethics, and respect for all voices.
- M – Mentorship: Supporting career development and guidance for future leaders.
- P – Public Service: Engaging with communities through civic responsibility and justice.
- A – Advocacy: Promoting dialogue and action on issues that shape society.
- C – Collaboration: Building inclusive partnerships within SCU and beyond.
- T – Transformation: Empowering students to grow personally and create positive social change.
