The Institute of Government and Politics (IGP) is an outreach
arm of the Department of Political Science. IGP’s mission is to
introduce WMU students and faculty, and the greater Kalamazoo community,
to scholars of politics and political leaders and experts from outside
the university. The IGP hosts events that feature experts on American
politics and government, international and comparative politics, and political
theory, as well as state and local elected officials, diplomatic and consular
officials, and federal policymakers. The IGP teams with student groups
throughout the university to arrange these campus visits. Susan Hoffmann
is currently Director of IGP and can be reached at Susan.Hoffmann@wmich.edu
or 269-387-5692.
