Fellow Chronicle writer Peter Dewey (right) and me (left) prior to Quinnipiac men’s basketball’s game at the Nassau Coliseum in New York.

I began working for the student-run school newspaper, the Quinnipiac Chronicle, within my first weeks on campus in 2016. I was quickly elevated to Associate Sports Editor after my first year (April 2017), then Sports Editor the next semester (December 2017). My jobs as Sports Editor included posting all sports content (recaps, features, etc.) online, assigning my staff of 10 writers to cover games each week and coordinating interviews with athletes through SIDs for feature pieces.

After a year running the sports section, I took a managing editor role as Web Director, which allowed me to oversee the entire group and online publication. This included editing and posting all written content on our website and on social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook). While serving this position, I retained my role as men’s basketball reporter and covered sports when needed.

Some of my fondest memories include road trips with my fellow sports writers to cover men’s and women’s basketball games.

Mr. 1,000

Cam Young never thought he’d be here.

A Los Angeles native, the Quinnipiac graduate student guard couldn’t have even dreamed up these past two years.

Young scored his 1,000th career point as a Bobcat on Sunday after a first-half 3-pointer, becoming just the 41st player in program history to reach the milestone.

“It’s big – I’ve been through a lot at this school,” Young said. “I’ve had a great opportunity over the past two years and I’m happy I’ve seized that opportunity.”

Young was quick to specify that he’s had this great opportunity over the past two years, even though he’s been a Bobcat for three. That’s because year one didn’t go according to plan.
