Brevard College has great faculty that are dedicated to their work and the students they teach. Michael Moreschi is a name that students, staff, and other faculty know really well. He is highly dedicated to his job here at Brevard College as an assistant professor of Criminal Justice. He was born and raised in Chicago IL and loves the Chicago Cubs, as most of the students know.
He has been with the college for three years as of January 2023. He has enjoyed his time here and continues to support the students he has taught.
