The last session of Citizen U is being offered next Wednesday from 3:30 -5:00 PM either on Teams or in person in MCSC 253. This session is entitled “Knowing your Rights” and brings Officer Stephanie Carnevale from ECU PD and Attorney Jovon Thompson from the Pitt County Public Defenders Office to discuss what are the rights of students as it relates to freedom of speech, traffic stops, warrants and searches, etc. This is an ideal session for those interested in criminal justice reform and aspirations of attending law school.

The passage of the 23rd Amendment in 1961 gave citizens of the nation’s capital the right to vote for a commander in chief and vice president.

Your adviser should contact you sometime this week (if he or she has not already done so) to give you’re your PIN and/or set up an appointment.

Please remember that we STRONGLY ADVISE PS majors take the following classes in the following years/semesters:

1. Take the writing course (POLS 2090) in their second (sophomore) year. It’s a good course to have as a base. By the way, you should take this course before you take ENGL 2201.
2. Take POLS 3031 (political science research methods) in the FALL of your JUNIOR year. (1) It’s only offered in the fall, and if you are a BS major, you need to take this course before you take POLS 3032.
3. For BS majors, POLS 3032 (statistical methods) should be taken in the SPRING of your JUNIOR year. It’s ONLY offered in the spring.
4. Finally, if you are BS Pre-Law, look to take the pre-law concentration courses as early as possible – they may not be offered later!
