Student Profile

Joshua Pugh

Joshua Pugh
Graduation: 2011
Major: Political Science

Majoring in political science at Alma College was just as much of a no-brainer as voting is for Joshua Pugh ’11.

“When I first visited campus, I met with Dr. Hulme and knew that I wanted to pursue political science,” he says. “After taking my first research methods class with Dr. Cartrite, it was clear that I had made the right choice.”
