Hey! I Just Saw My Professor on TV!

Mount faculty are teachers first, and with an average class size of 21, you’ll definitely get to know them well. But their research sometimes brings them to a wider audience. Take economics professor Frank Zarnowski, who provided decathlon color commentary for NBC during the 2004 Summer Olympics, and foreign languages professor Charles Merrill, who was featured in a Discovery Channel documentary on the “real” Christopher Columbus.

Other professors you’ll meet at the Mount include:

• A national expert on the American presidency and national elections
• Scientists whose genetic research may contribute to treatments for cancer, autism and Crohn’s disease
• An internationally known scholar in Catholic moral theology
• A figure well known in Britain as a specialist on American teacher education
• A painter who exhibits across the country
• A nationally recognized expert on writing centers
• A media expert on business ethics and corporate social responsibility
