Simply put, he is a winner! During his years at Sacred Heart, Connor was a true leader on and off the football field, in and out of the classroom, and everywhere in between. A captain on the football team, Connor provided leadership to a team that went from multiple consecutive losing seasons prior to his arrival, to three straight winning seasons and two Northeast Conference championships during his playing career. His unrivaled work ethic and focus on teammates provided a peer leadership hard to find among today's generation. As a recognized student leader on campus, I solicited Connor's assistance on several occasions to help with various recruitment initiatives for the University. Connor always went out of his way to help us out, often volunteering his only free hours to assist myself and others on campus. Connor balanced a maturity beyond his years with a sense of humor that endeared him to both prospective students and parents alike. Always on time and with a smile, Connor made sure that every family had a quality experience. His passion and loyalty to Sacred Heart was evident, and his energy was contagious. What impressed me most about Connor, was his ability to relate to every prospective student and parent he met, not just prospective athletes. I specifically remember one occasion when a prospective student asked him why he chose to attend Sacred Heart. As captain of the football team, I fully intended his response to be that football drove his decision to attend SHU. However, Connor acknowledged that what drew him to SHU over other schools was it's focus on mission, values, and ethics. This was a reason and response beyond the norm of his peers. Additionally, Connor is a keen relationship manager with outstanding communication skills. Connor is very intelligent, highly motivated, and has the ability to quickly evaluate a situation and find the proper angle to turn any situation into a positive. I have no doubt that he will take these characteristics and utilize them to grow as he advances professionally in her career. Connor is AWESOME, and I would encourage any employer looking to employ a future business leader to give Connor an opportunity!"
