If you’re a resident on campus, it’s very likely that you know Dougie-Fresh. Yup, he’s that 6’4″ RA, often spotted greeting everyone he encounters, lifting at the gym, sporting a cowboy hat at school events, or hosting a line-dancing program on the 9th floor of Horan (btw, keep your eye out for another line-dancing event after Spring Break!) Other than being an RA, there are oodles of achievements on his resume. He’s President of Silver Wings, majors in Chemical Engineering, and is starting a full-time job in July. What can’t this boy do?!
HC: Why did you choose Manhattan College?
Doug: I chose MC because I loved the feel of the campus. MC is also close to my home and it’s location provides the opportunity to go into NYC.
HC: Chemical engineering, huh?
Doug: I heard it was challenging and wanted to prove to myself I could do it. Turns out, I actually really enjoy it. Problem solving is the biggest skill I’ve taken away from it. Plus, the senior ChemE class of 30 has grown really close over the 4 years.
HC: What do you think makes you stand out from everyone else?
Doug: My height.
HC: HA! Ladies, he’s got quite the humor, as you can tell…
HC: Well, tell us about some of your interests and hobbies.
Doug: I love country music, as all of you may know. I also enjoy being outdoors, watching King of Queens, and playing tennis.
HC: Graduation isn’t that far away, how exciting! What are your plans after this?
Doug: I was lucky enough to get my dream job at ExxonMobil in Houston, Texas. My dream has always been to live down south. I start July 2015.
