Who we are
Pi Lambda Sigma [POLIS] is Cornell's foremost professional society for students pursuing government and policy careers.
Since our founding in 2016, [POLIS] has managed to equip fellows with the skills needed to land positions at some of the nation's most prestigious think-tanks, consultancies, and government agencies.
Join the future of Government
We encourage those who are eager to learn, hard-working, and passionate about government to apply.
Our fellows cultivate essential skills through
Learning how to build and maintain an effective network
Resume, cover letter, and interview preparation for policy-centered jobs

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
