Late night popcorn run turns into fire drill in south dorms By Derek Wangler Editor-in-Chief Students in the south dorms had to evacuate just before midnight on March 19. The fire alarms were said to be set off by burnt popcorn. Students had to wait outside in the cold until fire trucks arrived and assessed the situation inside the dorms. Some students took shelter inside of Huber Hall while others decided to brave the elements and watch the fire trucks pull up.
Twitter Photo Students were tweeting photos while waiting outside of South for fire personnel to clear the building as safe to reenter.

Alums share their work experiences By Derek Wangler Editor-in-Chief
According to a panel of Medaille alums, internships are the most valuable experience students can get out of college. A group of Medaille graduates answered questions and gave advice to students on March 22 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Alums who were on the panel were Amanda Kolin-Butler ’07, Mike Simoncellie ’09, Paige Gullotti ’11-’12, and Nick Calandra ’11. All of the alums on the panel took advantage of internship opportunities and believed that they were very helpful in landing them a job when they got out of college. “Keep in contact with the people you meet through your internships. You never know, they might have an opening for you one day,” said Paige Gullotti. Some even have interns of their own now and talked about what they expect out of their interns. “Don’t get complacent. Keep doing the little things right. You may think [your supervisor] is not keeping track anymore but [they] are,” said Mike Simoncelli a ’09 graduate.
