The politics and economics department’s Student Planning Council (SPC) is responsible for building camaraderie and representing politics and economics students in determining how the department can best serve their hopes for developing a strong undergraduate program. Comprised of six students and a faculty mentor, this group plans social events (for example, ice cream socials, end-of-year picnics) that offer opportunities for majors and minors to meet. Additionally, this group of students will be the point persons for departmental candidate interviews, disseminating departmental information, discussion of curriculum development, and any other program improvements that will serve to strengthen the department of politics and economics.

Other student organizations that many department majors and minors join are Student Senate, Calvin Democrats, Calvin Republicans, PDAC, and Model United Nations.
