Anthony Fruzzetti is in his 22nd year as a full-time member of the faculty in the College of Business’ Marketing Department.

He is a longtime active member of the New England Chapter of the Insights Association. Fruzzetti also serves as a faculty mentor to the ��ý Men’s Ice Hockey team and faculty advisor to the ��ý Wave Riders Surf Club.

Q&A with Anthony

At ��ý, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You’re not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply — you’re going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.

What Is Your Favorite Teaching Moment?

My favorite teaching moment happens every time the conversation we are having in class starts to flow organically from and between the students, rather than being directed by me. This is when I know that real learning, understanding, and critical thinking are happening.

What Advice Do You Have For Incoming Freshmen?

I always advise my incoming Freshmen to be bold, and take advantage of the opportunity to reinvent themselves. I also advise on the importance of staying open minded as they explore all of the introductory business courses. One never knows where or when that spark of inspiration and interest will occur.
