Jeremy Teigen

Ramapo Success Story

“It is very exciting to teach at Ramapo and work with students to analyze their own data. For many of my students, it is their first experience with real, evidence-based analysis and it has been a real pleasure and professionally fulfilling to help students put the science in political science. It does not just deepen their knowledge of politics. It arms them with skills that give them an edge in an increasingly data-driven world.

Every election year, I bring on one or two students as part-time, paid research assistants to help with an ongoing congressional election research project. Over the past few cycles, I’ve worked one-on-one with approximately a dozen students to sift through primary and secondary sources, online information and news accounts to assemble a quantitative record of our elections. These students have been proud to make the experience an important item on their résumé.”
