Why bowl alone when you can build social capital with us? Politics decides “who gets what, when and how” and what values are treated as authoritative.
Politics impacts nearly everything you do or experience, from the food you eat, to the tuition you pay, to the price of gas at the pump. By learning about politics our students gain vital knowledge about how the world works, all the way from their city or town to the global community.

Our wonderful student/colleague Bob Krasniewski has passed away. Bob took a class from one of us nearly every semester for quite a few years. He always added significantly to the conversation; he always helped students gain perspective and understand history; he always completed every assignment and sought genuine feedback on his work; he always maintained a sense of humor and a love of learning. As with all good students he helped teach the class, too.
He wished he could rejoin our classes after the pandemic, but it was not to be, because he was fighting cancer. Many of our students here will know and remember Bob fondly. Now it is for us to carry forth his legacy as lifelong learners. We wish we could always have a seasoned non-traditional student in class like Bob. But alas, he was a unique presence, and will be greatly missed.
