Kevin Pacelli ’14
Co-Editor-in-Chief
I remember walking into my first Eagle’s Eye meeting at the end of my freshman year with strong ambitions. I knew that journalism was a career field I was somewhat interested in, and I thought this was the perfect place to start. As it turns out, it’s a good thing I decided to join.
Being a part of the Eagle’s Eye staff has been extremely beneficial to me for various reasons. For one thing, it has provided me with journalism experience that would be difficult to find elsewhere. I was not only able to write for the Entertainment section, where I did most of my work in my sophomore and junior years, but I also had opportunities to try writing articles in the sports and news fields.
Most importantly, the Eagle’s Eye has added fuel to my passion for journalism. What started out as a slight interest in journalism has developed into a dream. I now know that I want to study journalism in college, and I hope that my studies at Syracuse University will lead me into a career as a sports journalist.
As I look forward towards my future as a Broadcast and Digital Journalism major, I can’t help but reflect on everything that the Eagle’s Eye has accomplished. Most notably, we have successfully established a strong digital presence that consists of an official website (thanks to the Web Team) and a Facebook page. I am fully confident that next year’s editors and staff members will be able to further expand the publication’s use of 21st Century technology.
Saying goodbye to the Eagle’s Eye is bittersweet for me, but I know that I will never forget the memories I’ve made, the lessons I’ve learned, and the people I’ve met through my experiences as a staff member and editor.
We salute you Kevin!
