Connor O'Brien '21

"Hi guys, I’m Connor O’Brien and I’m a senior here, which is crazy! I’m an Economics Major from Westminster, Massachusetts. You’ve probably seen me on the Hilltop because I’ve loved getting involved with so many activities. 

During my four years here, I first joined Campus Ministry and since then have had the pleasure of working with Student Government Association, Alumni Ambassadors and the New Student Orientation program. I’m excited to be featured in the latest #EverydayAnselmian video. Just wanted to let you know that I have a stutter, so I appreciate you bearing with me at times if my speech gets a little choppy. Thanks so much for watching. Sending a shoutout and lots of love to my fellow Anselmians!⁣"
