The University of California, Riverside's Sigma Phi chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honors Society, has been awarded a Best Chapter Award for 2023-2024. 
 

These awards are intended to recognize local chapters that are particularly active in their institutions and communities and embody our society’s mission to stimulate scholarship and intellectual interest in political science. Dr. David Pion-Berlin and Ms. Donna Perez serve as advisors to the chapter and should be recognized for their extraordinary leadership and dedication to the students who are members of the chapter. 

The Sigma Phi chapter will be awarded along with five other chapters from institutions similar in size, out of over 850 Pi Sigma Alpha chapters. We were impressed with the chapter’s achievements in developing activities supporting student civic engagement, especially given the significant challenges students around the country continue to face.
