Jordan Fischetti

Jordan Fischetti, a native of beautiful New Providence, NJ, graduated from Hamilton College with honors in 2008. While he was a Project Coordinator for AmeriCorps VISTA in Utica, NY the following year, he became politically active and interested in constitutional law. He pursued this passion by interning for the Cato Institute in Washington, DC the following autumn. Jordan believes that vigorously upholding the First Amendment, especially in this nation's universities, is essential to the preservation of individual rights and the Constitution. Thus, he was very eager to join FIRE as a Program Associate for the Individual Rights Defense Program in June, 2010. Jordan arrives at FIRE through the Koch Associate Program, which provides extensive education and training over the course of a year while the associate works on location. At FIRE, he does case research and special projects.
