As graduation approaches, many seniors are looking for jobs and career opportunity as they take their last classes at Medaille. We wanted to spotlight some of our seniors in these last few weeks of school. For next few weeks we will profile a senior in the department.

Chris Muscarella

Muscarella is a prominent member of WMCB the Lizzard, Medaille College’s radio station. He is the current Program Director for the station. He also works in radio currently as a producer at KB 1520.
“I enjoy the position of Program Director. Things can get a little crazy at times, but overall I enjoyed the experience,” Muscarella said. “I accepted the job as Program Director because I wanted to be more involved in what happened in the station and what was going on with automation.

This year the radio station received automation software. Next year the station will really take of with the new software was WMCB can run shows and promos without people being in the booth meaning that the station can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“As I graduate my career goals haven’t changed much, I still want a full time position in my field. I enjoy radio but I’m still very open to new experiences not only in radio but also television. I think that I’d probably be best suited for PR or Advertising work though,” Muscarella said.

With graduation approaching, some seniors may feel apprehensive about moving on with the next phase of their lives. Everyone has their own way of dealing with the the change of moving onto their career.

“I’m more nervous than scared and I am excited as well. I’m excited because after this I’m moving on to get my masters degree, but I’m nervous because this is where the real life evaluation of my education starts,” Muscarella said.

All seniors will miss something after they take their last exam and finish that last class. It can be hard to let go of things that were so comfortable for four year.

“The faculty is probably my favorite part of the communication department. I don’t recall having better teachers at any of my previous schools. They really go out of their way to help you.”
