Transfer Profile: Michael Lamarca '09
Michael Lamarca '09 of West Seneca transferred to Medaille after a few semesters at another regional college. Now pursuing a degree in sport management, he plans to stay in the Buffalo area after he graduates in 2009.
"I was looking for a new opportunity, and with a degree in Sport Management, Medaille was a good fit. I've done great basketball team simulations in my sport management classes, and I've worked with the Bandits and Bisons because of the relationship the College has with them," he says.
He continues, "Medaille gives you a different experience. It offers something different - a smaller school with personal attention."
