HC: Why did you choose Marist?
Kevin: I actually didn’t even want to come to Marist because my older brother goes here. However, after I visited campus for the first time, I knew this is where I had to be!
HC: What are you involved in on campus, and what roles to you have?
Kevin: I am the President of the Marist College Greek Council and Risk Manager of my Fraternity, Theta Delta Chi. I also am a campus Tour Guide and work in the Admissions Office. This semester, I just finished directing my first theatre production, “All in the Timing” for the Family Weekend Dinner Theater Show.
HC: You’re so involved! What do you love about all the things you take part in?
Kevin: I love being involved on campus. Although my days are hectic, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
HC: How do you like going to school with your brother?
Kevin: It’s actually extremely helpful. We definitely both look after each other. We tell each other which classes to take or when someone is giving free out free food on campus.
HC: What’s your favorite part about working for the Marist Admissions Office?
Kevin: I remember how difficult the college search process was for me, so being able to help prospective students in their own process is an amazing thing. Also getting to work with the wonderful Anna Carbone is nothing short of amazing.
HC: I’m blushing! What’s your favorite spot on the Marist Campus?
Kevin: Wholly Habanero…
HC: I hear you plan to study abroad! Where are you going, and what are you most looking forward to about the semester?

HC: Do you have any embarrassing freshman year memories?
