Paul Sracic, Youngstown State University professor and chairman of the Department of Politics and International Relations, has earned recognition for YSU through more than 50 international lectures.

“Everywhere I go, my PowerPoints are labeled with YSU logo,” Sracic explained. “We are getting the YSU name out there. It’s getting the university a lot of free publicity around the world.
