Halmos Student Presents at the Pi Sigma Alpha Virtual Conference

Angel Vasquez, a student in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Institute, presented his research at the Pi Sigma Alpha National Student Research Conference. Pi Sigma Alpha is the National Political Science Honor Society and this year’s conference was held virtually.

“Participating in the Pi Sigma Alpha virtual conference allowed me to present my research to a scholarly audience and to experience academia firsthand,” he said. “This experience has informed me about other career options and piqued my interest in other fields within the social sciences. The feedback that I obtained from the panelists reviewing my research project has significantly improved it and is already guiding my future research interest.

“I was also glad to interact with peers from other colleges and hearing their interesting perspectives. I am deeply thankful for the professors of the Department of Humanities and Politics for their enthusiastic support and guidance, and I can only be excited to participate in next year’s Pi Sigma Alpha conference!”
