The Political Science Department is pleased to welcome Brian Hurst  as the newest member  on the Dean’s Advisory Board for the College of Sciences.  Mr. Hurst received a B.A. in Political Science (summa cum laude) in 1992, followed by a juris doctorate from the Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1995. Mr. Hurst serves as a partner with the Chicago based firm Beutel Hurst Bokely  and he works in the areas of tort litigation, medical malpractice, personal injury, negligence and product  liability. His  impressive career is great testimony to the range of professional opportunities available to political science majors, and  we look forward to his contributions to the future of the college and our department.
