Local Perspective

News – sometimes it is hard to keep up with events that unfold daily – even hourly. AIC is proud to have faculty experts who can add a local perspective to events at the global or national level. The media frequently calls upon them for their insight and opinion and they are happy to respond.

Just last week, Chair of the Political Science Department Professor Julie Walsh, PhD, discussed the current political climate in regards to suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats on WesternMassNews.
