Now that campaigning is over and SCC President Matt Wise is wrapping up his term, President Elect Will Dowd has a lot to talk about. He sat down with "Eagle Eye" Staff Reporter Adam Roberts to answer the question: Who is Will Dowd?
Dowd got 17 questions worth of grilling, and now campus gets the truth about "Shakespeare in Love," Dowd's campaign and much more.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: I have no idea. We were just talking about that. I'm not really sure yet. Maybe, possibly, a director of community service at a college or director of admissions. I want to run things I guess, in a department. I sort of like the way a bureaucracy works, or student affairs. Something like that would be neat.
Q: What is going to be your first act as President next semester?
A: Good question. I would say just getting things organized and working with the executive board to get things done. I would say the storage issue would be something I would want to push first for clubs and organizations because they don't have enough storage. During the summer, they don't know where to put their things. I want to focus on helping them with that. That would probably be one of my first issues.
It will be a relief just getting that first senate meeting over with, past the first stage and getting on with the transition. Matt Wise was telling me that the transition period your first semester is the most hectic, and the next semester you learn your way.
Q: If you were only allowed to watch one show on repeat forever what would it be?
A: Oh my gosh. The O.C. I love the O.C.
Q: When was the last time you played a sport?
A: My last sport I played was soccer. Soccer in the REC Center with some International students.
Q: Where would you rather be: in a tree or in a sky scraper?
A: Sky Scraper.
Q: What is your favorite book?
A: "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and "Oliver Wiswell" by Kenneth Roberts, which is the American Revolution from a loyalist perspective. It was long, but I loved it. And I'm a huge fan of Robert Frost for poetry.
