NASA Community College Program Puts New Alum On His Career Path
Isaac Bennett '24 just experienced one of those transformational moments in his life, and it all began when he read a flyer on a bulletin board while walking the halls of Onondaga Community College. "I kind of stumbled on this. I saw a poster, went to a website, and applied. And now, I just returned from a NASA Research Center and can see myself working there one day! It's very cool! I want more students to know this opportunity is out there!"
Alum Rising Rapidly in the News and Information Industry
Professionally speaking, Onondaga Community College Alumnus Lane Russell '20 is climbing the ladder of success quickly. Just three months ago he was named the Executive Producer of CNY Central, the local television news hub on James Street in Syracuse which includes stations WSTM 3, WTVH, 5, and CW6. As Executive Producer, he oversees the content of newscasts on all three stations. "Lane is one of the youngest journalists ever promoted to a news leadership position, but he is as worthy as anyone I've ever considered," said CNY Central News Director Sean Carroll.
