Introduction – James Miller

Hi everyone!

My name is James Miller and I am a senior at UAF pursuing my major in Political Science and a minor in Military Science. I am 21 years old and was born and raised right here, in good old Fairbanks, Alaska. I chose this course mainly because it is a part of my degree path and thankfully that path is one I enjoy greatly. I am thrilled to be taking this course and look forward to seeing how/if my views will change regarding the presidency. My favorite thing about taking Political Science courses is that it constantly challenges my own beliefs and often strengthens or changes my views as I get more educated. I am a part of the Army ROTC program and campus and will commission as an officer, so thankfully my career will be laid out right from the get-go!

One thing I want to get out of the class is to better understand the changes we have seen throughout the American presidency and more specifically, how there can be the drastic change we have seen in American politics as we have seen in the past decade. I look forward to meeting everyone!
