Support IMPACT - Political Science Student Association

IMPACT, Santa Clara University’s Political Science Student Association, empowers students to turn academic passion into real-world impact. We support students through mentorship, professional development, and civic engagement—helping them navigate academic pathways and prepare for careers in law, public service, advocacy, and research.

Our work is grounded in the values that define our name:

  • Integrity: Leading with ethics and respect
  • Mentorship: Guiding students through academic and career growth
  • Public Service: Engaging communities through civic responsibility
  • Advocacy: Encouraging dialogue and action on critical issues
  • Collaboration: Building inclusive partnerships at SCU and beyond
  • Transformation: Empowering students to create positive social change

What Your Support Funds

Donor support directly sustains IMPACT’s student-led programming, including educational events, speaker panels, meetings, and outreach efforts. Funds also support essential organizational needs such as supplies and materials that help recruit and engage students.

This support will additionally allow IMPACT to host its first Career Fair and Internship Showcase, expanding access to professional pathways, alumni mentorship, and career exploration opportunities for Political Science students.

IMPACT Peer Mentorship Program

The IMPACT Peer Mentorship Program connects upper-division students with first-year, second-year, and transfer students through a dedicated Discord community. Exclusive to active IMPACT members, the program provides academic guidance, professional support, and peer connection in an accessible, student-centered format.

By strengthening mentorship, leadership, and community, IMPACT ensures Political Science students have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed on campus and beyond.
