He developed an appreciation for free speech as the President of the College Libertarians and the Federalist Society where he sought to bring those with divergent opinions together for debate and discussion. After serving as a legal intern for FIRE, he became a student attorney for the Criminal Defense Clinic where he defended indigent Syracuse residents on misdemeanor charges. Note: FIRE is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.

In episode 219 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Zach decided to attend Binghamton University for his undergraduate experience, why he joined Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity as a Founding Father, why he’s so passionate about the First Amendment, what FIRE does, some of the core programs that FIRE offers for awareness and activism, the implications when Harvard dropped its policy against single gender clubs on campus, other suppression of First Amendment rights on campuses, and what a college student can do if they see signs of restrictive speech policies.

He is a dynamic and sought-after public speaker and frequent guest on TV and radio. His essays entitled A Sunday Talk on Sex, Drugs, Drinking and Dying and A Very Dangerous Place for a Child is College may be the most read and shared essays in history on the topic of drugs, sexual assault, and alcohol abuse on college campuses, having been read by millions.

We ask Dr. Profeta about what it’s like treating COVID-19 patients, the app for healthcare workers to say prayers with the patients, the risk to college students, should colleges and universities open up this fall, how we can protect faculty and staff on college campuses that might be more vulnerable, how we can get our students to think globally to be a part of the solution for this virus, how college students should be acting in public places and stores, the full impact on healthcare workers in terms of their stress and mental health, and whether hospitals will be prepared for a second wave of COVID-19 in the fall.
