Fairfield University honors Michael Burruano for academic excellence in politics

Michael Burruano of Garrison, N.Y., who graduated from Fairfield University on May 20 with a degree in Politics, received the Passarelli-Guinta Award for Academic Excellence in Politics.

Burruano, a Dean's List student, was recently inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. His professors describe him as extremely intelligent, resourceful and mature. He spent last spring in Washington, D.C., as part of Fairfield's internship program, where he received an intensive introduction to the practice of law in the Office of Corporation Counsel.

Burruano's supervisors in the nation's capital found him to be an extremely talented young man and are eager to write letters of recommendation for him should he set his sights on law school.
