Goucher students are diving into the political process this semester. Six Goucher students will present their senior theses at the Midwest Political Science Association in Chicago. Additionally, five students will attend the Model Senate at Stetson University in Florida, and 16 Goucher students attended the Model UN at Harvard.

"It really is transformative for students," says Scott Sibley, interim provost at Goucher College in Maryland. "I see students who come back and the growth that they've experienced, the change in them in a positive way now that they've seen more, is wonderful."
