MC Professor elected to council of American Political Science AssociationSeptember 04, 2020

Recently, members of the American Political Science Association (APSA) elected Dr. Terry Gilmour, MC Government professor and director of the Honors program, to the APSA governing council for a three-year term. 

Founded in 1903, the American Political Science Association is the major professional society for individuals engaged in the study of politics and government. APSA brings together political scientists from all fields of inquiry, regions and occupational endeavors. While most APSA members are scholars who teach and conduct research in colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad, one-fourth of the association members work in government, research, consulting firms, the news media and private enterprise.

Dr. Gilmour is the only representative on the governing council from a community college. 

"I have been a member of APSA for over 20 years," Gilmour said.  "I truly believe in the association's mission of encouraging social scientific inquiry and its role in maintaining a free, participatory, civil and law-governed society.   The association is committed to scholarship and professional practices that contribute to social as well as intellectual progress.  I look forward to furthering the mission through my service on the APSA Council."
