Welcome to the December edition of "Meet Your Model," where we feature Ohio University students, alumni, faculty and staff who have stepped in to serve as models on The Bobcat Store website, the official retailer of the Ohio University Alumni Association!

This month we are featuring Max Catalano, a current Ohio University student graduating in December 2020 with a BSVC in photojournalism. Max has taken many of the product photos you see on our website, and has also stepped in front of the camera as a model! We asked Max about his experiences at OHIO so far:

What led you to attend Ohio University?
"I loved the small, college-town feel of Athens. I first visited in the fall and was blown away by the beautiful campus. Their multimedia programs and facilities are top-notch and I was impressed by all the student-produced work coming out of Ohio University. It was definitely the right choice and the faculty here have improved my skills drastically since attending."

What is your fondest memory at OHIO so far?
"Living in the dorms freshman year. Everyone on my floor was so friendly and welcoming. We spent many nights hanging out in our mod playing old video games and having a great time."

What is your favorite location on campus?
"Schoonover Center and the Radio Television building. As a photojournalism major, I've spent the majority of my time there and bonded with friends over late nights panicking about our projects."

What do you want to do after you graduate from OHIO?
"I'm still trying to figure that out. I would love to work for a magazine or newspaper as a photographer, but recently I've been spending more time on video production and would enjoy going into that as well. I'm keeping an eye out for any opportunities and I'll see where life takes me."
