Suzanne Chod received her B.S. in Political Science from Bowling Green State University in 2002 and her PhD in the same field from Michigan State University in 2007. Dr. Chod joined the NCC faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2010, and teaches classes in American politics and research methods, as well as contributing to the Interdisciplinary Studies, Leadership, Ethics, and Values, and Masters of Liberal Studies programs. She is currently the Coordinator for the Gender and Women's Studies Program, as well.
