My name is Max Connor and I am a journalism major. I am excited to be the Editor in Chief and Sports Editor for the Fall 2018 semester. I love all types of sports and news journalism. I am passionate about story telling and the important role journalists play in educating the public. My dream is to work for a radio program helping to produce long form storytelling projects. I am a grateful husband and father of a 3-year-old daughter and infant twins.
