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.
