The Political Science Association was established in September 2000. It was felt that the formation of such an Association would afford students the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the political processes fuelling government
policies the world over. Its motto is “Moulding the Minds of the Future”. Association members devote time to researching, analyzing and debating the issues that affect many aspects of their lives.

Membership

The Political Science Association is open to all present and past students of the Barbados Community College. The Association is particularly interested in attracting those students who are community minded, sharing and giving.

Major Activities

In October 2001, a group of students from the Association visited Ecuador to participate in a United Nations Model Assembly. Nations such as Germany, the United States of America and China were represented.

During its Annual Award Ceremony, the Association took the opportunity to honour the Prime Minister of Barbados, the Honourable Owen Seymour Arthur, with the “Politician of the Year” award. The Association also honoured entrepreneur Mr Robbie Robinson, the proprietor of Ajax Construction, for his commitment to community development.

The Association is very community spirited, adopting the Barrow’s Children Home, and providing support to the children in many different ways.
