Winthrop Day broadcast (hour 10), Chris Bennett, Brad Witzel & Matt Thrift

(Rock Hill, S.C.) -- Eagle Air hosted a special broadcast for
Virtual Winthrop Day (April 25), which included interviews with
students, faculty, staff and alumni, in order to give prospective
students and families a look at what it's like to be part of the
Winthrop community. We also asked people to share songs they
would recommend for our #PandemicPlaylist.


In the 10th hour, we spoke with Dr. Chris Bennett (2009), an
emergency medicine resident at the Harvard Medical School in
Boston, who graduated from Winthrop with a degree in biology.
Bennett discussed his time at Winthrop and his experience
treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Next, we spoke
with Dr. Brad Witzel, professor and coordinator of the special
education program, about his experience at Winthrop and preparing
students to become educators who work with children with special
needs. Finally, we were joined by Matt Thrift, a senior mass
communication major and  the news editor of The Johnsonian,
about his experience at Winthrop. Thrift also hosts a music show
for Eagle Air.
