Professor Emeritus of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth
Professor Emeritus of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth was featured by the Fredericksburg Free Press in a column titled, “Thank you to the professor who has been taking my calls for almost 30 years.”
Columnist Jonathan Hunley begins the article by writing, “No more faculty meetings, and no more papers to grade. But we’ll still get to hear his thoughts on politics on TV and radio, and read his comments on this website. That’s my two-sentence upbeat conclusion about the retirement of Stephen J. Farnsworth from the University of Mary Washington after three decades in higher education.” Read the column in the Fredericksburg Free Press.
