Smith said adviser Martorana wants them to think critically about what he says and what the parents say, and question everything before buying it.
To reach out to other students the club has - in addition to hosting the election forum - had political articles on display for students to read on Club Day. They have also shown political movies in the Student Services building.
"I think we should have more events," member Charley Kausen said. He and other members have been mulling ideas for more club events.
Members also have different aspirations for the future.
"I want to learn more about the political process and maybe be a campaign manager for candidates," Secretary Dane Larson said.
"I plan on going to Law school," Ian Cogswell said.
Stephens started taking Political Science 101 and realized she wanted to change her major from social welfare to political science. "Now I want to go to law school," she said.
As a last event for the semester, the club plans on showing a political movie in November, but hasn't decided on a date and movie yet.
"It's probably going to be something about sustainability and environmentalism," Stephens said.
To make it easier for other students to find the club, a Facebook page was created that Larson oversees.
The club currently lacks active international students as members, something Stephens would like to change.
"I'd love to have people from other countries join the club," she said.
The Political Science club meets every Thursday at 2.15pm in the cafeteria on East Campus. Students who want to join do not have to be political science majors and can simply come to a meeting to introduce them.
