Phi Sigma Alpha (2025 Student Research Conference)

In February, DHP students traveled to Washington, DC, to present their research at the 2025 12TH Annual Phi Sigma Alpha Political Science Student Research Conference held at George Washington University. Most of the DHP students who attended the conference were part of Dr. Edwards’s Political Science course: Qualitative Research Methods. The Phi Sigma Alpha conference is an annual conference for students, allowing for a highly interactive forum for students to share their research.

During the conference, students networked with other students from universities across the country and the world. In addition, students attended career development sessions and other panel discussions. This opportunity was a great experience for DHP students to gain knowledge, practice their presentation skills, present their research, and further their professional development.

Students in attendance included: Kyle Bell, Catalina Cusano, Aruhi Kodeboyina, Italia Lewis, Amber Paquette, and Melina Pecci.
