Senior film, video, and interactive media major Samuel Snow-Cronin is the Production Manager for 98.1 WQAQ, and ready for the next phase of his life.
“I’ve taken some of the best things at Quinnipiac that relate best to me. Quinnipiac was a good stepping stone for my independence.”
Farid Ilupeju, a freshman health sciences major got involved with the radio station on campus.
“I was just bored in my room and decided I’ve got to go do something. Now, I really enjoy it.”
Arthur Bailin, a freshman broadcast journalism major, had his passion for photography heightened by his school choice as well as the Quinnipiac Bobcats Sports Network.
“It’s interesting. Photography is almost therapeutic really, to be alone with the camera. I’m always running around, and it’s fun. I’m glad QBSN has that opportunity to really develop my skills in that regard.”
Taylor Gartner, a sophomore legal studies major has no regrets in her school choice.
“[Quinnipiac] was actually one of the first schools I visited, and I took a tour here and fell in love with the school. Nothing else compares. People always ask me if I like it and I think it’s one of the best colleges out there.”
Matt Francia, a junior social services major is the Culture and Diversity chair for SPB.
“I believe that my position has gotten people who wouldn’t necessarily be engulfed into a culture-related event will come and learn something from it.”
Ashley O’Neill gets involved beyond the Quinnipiac Community
While one of Quinnipiac’s missions is to mold their students into valued members of the local community, sophomore Ashley O’Neill got a head start on her service.
O’Neill is involved in the Honors Program, the sorority Phi Sigma Sigma, and served as a peer catalyst for QU 101, Quinnipiac’s seminar class that focuses heavy on the idea of community. However, getting involved is nothing new to O’Neill.
During the summer, O’Neill also works for Camp Nokomis in Laconia, N.H., where she teaches sailing and kayaking to little kids.
“The people there are amazing and probably the most genuine, down to earth and caring people,” says O’Neill. “It’s one of my greatest experiences and fortunate jobs to have.”
She believes the lessons she’s learned over the seven years at the camp have applied to success in team building and business at Quinnipiac.
“In the business school we are constantly doing business projects, and it helps having team skills and being able to work and create a strong and well communicative group,” says O’Neill.
O’Neill plans to utilize those skills en route to a future career in management.
