Welcome!  Thank you for visiting my website.  My name is Dr. Ross Alexander.  I am an associate professor of political science at North Georgia College and State University (NGCSU).  I teach courses primarily in public administration, American government, and political theory.  I received my Ph.D. from Northern Illinois University in 2002; my M.P.A. from Arizona State University in 1998; and my B.A. from Beloit College in 1996 where I had a double major in political science and history.  My full VITA is available here (Word document).

Besides teaching, my interests include spending time with my wife Laurie and daughters Addye and Allye, golf, college football (especially the Big Ten), reading history and biographies, physical fitness, watching entirely too much ESPN and the History Channel and waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series (this year, hopefully).
