Dr. Alessandro Bonanno (Chair) "Sociology is a science created to address society's problems. As such, it gives us sociologists the opportunities to directly and positively impact people's lives. This is the reason I became a sociologist and why, I believe, Sociology has a lot to offer those who care about creating a better world." |

Dr. Gene Theodori (Director of Graduate Studies) "The future never belongs to the youth but belongs to all individuals caught in the cumulation of trivial decisions" William R. Burch, Jr. |

Dr. Furjen Deng (Associate Chair) "Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions." C. Wright Mills |
