Working 20 hours a week, Joe does not have much time to himself. However, this Stag finds time to devote to his passions. As a senior, Joe is looking ahead to his future with an open mind. Since the Writing Center just opened Monday, we decided to talk with Joe, one of the tutors.
How long have you been a Writing Center tutor?
I have worked at the Writing Center since second semester sophomore year, so almost a full two years. The Writing Center just opened this Monday.
So you work at the Levee, what does your job there entail?
As project manager I oversee getting programs up to the Levee. These programs are things like theme nights, events, musicians, poets. I oversee that and the general running of the place.
What are you looking to do after graduation?
Well I’d love to write comics and/or movies, but with the way things are out there now, I’ll take whatever I can get. I might pursue a career in publishing as well.
What drew you to Fairfield?
A teacher I had in high school was a recent graduate of Fairfield. She helped me realize that I wanted to be a writer and that writing was what I really enjoyed doing. Also, coming from a Jesuit high school (Xavier High School), I was interested in a Jesuit university.
What are your interests outside of school?
I enjoy going to the gym and working out. I do that a lot. I’m really into mixed martial arts, UFC type of stuff. I like all music and movies as well.
What was the most exciting event at the Levee you have been involved in so far?
The thing that put Levee’s prospective potential for great events was last year when the band Z02 played. It proved that with hard work and a little bit of patience we can make it [the Levee] a great place to be.
If you could eat with any four people at Angelo’s Pizza in the Levee who would they be and why?
I would just eat with the guys that I live with because they’re the best. Along with my housemates, I would eat with Rob Van Dam.
