Biography
Anthony Fruzzetti is in his 27th year as a full-time member of the faculty in the College of Hospitality & Business.
He is a longtime active member of the New England Chapter of the Insights Association. Fruzzetti also serves as a faculty mentor to the JWU Men’s Ice Hockey team and faculty leader of the Business of Fashion Summer Study Abroad Program.
In the classroom, Fruzzetti prefers for students to be active participants in a shared learning conversation, rather than passive witnesses to a lecture.
"My two areas of specialization are marketing research and consumer behavior. They go together, and focus on why people do the things they do."
