Greetings!

I am Professor Fernando Pinon. The courses I teach include Government 2301 and Government 2302.
I was born in Mexico and moved to Laredo as a young boy.  I served in the U.S. Navy and after my discharge I attended the University of North Texas where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and a Master's Degree in Political Science. I studied Law at Notre Dame University .
In 1971, I became the managing editor of The Laredo Times , a daily newspaper that serves South Texas and Northern Mexico.  I was the first Mexican-American to serve on the Editorial Board of the Texas Daily Press Association. 
I have written two books, Of Myths and Realities:  Dynamics of Ethnic Politics and Patron Democracy and the Third Children of the Half-Millennium , published in the Spring of 2002. I was hired as a full-time faculty member in 1994 .
