Facilities and Resources

Public Affairs maintains several resources for student, faculty, and staff use:

• Computer Lab in HMB S232:
  • The lab has computers and a printer. The lab serves as a small seminar room and a meeting place for students to study and do homework just a short walk from professors’ offices.
• Career and Graduate School resources:
  • Assorted catalogues, graduate and law school guides, and announcements of career and internship opportunities for students to examine. This is located in the Government suite near office HMB S235L.
• Government and History Reference Materials.
  • A small library of reference materials is housed in the bookcase in the Government Lab (HMB S232) and in the Department itself (HMB S235). These include specialized encyclopedia, recent professional journals and newsletters and other sources of information.

The program also maintains lists of electronic links useful to students. A partial list appears below:
