Politics - Student Profile

Michael Tellirico
Major: Politics

"Politics was always something that interested me and Fairfield has a great reputation. The professors in the Politics Department are just incredibly brilliant. I think it's the coolest thing on the planet when something happens in politics and Dr. Marcie Patton or Dr. John Orman will get called by the media for a comment. It's great to see that people across the country seek out their expert opinion on a topic.

"The professors here are very engaging. They lead lively discussions and encourage students to contribute to the conversation. They freely dole out their own opinions, sometimes with the hope of sparking some light and humorous banter in the classroom. The professors always make sure every opinion is equally respected. I encourage students to talk to the professors. Their doors are always open for students."
