For Kevin Flaherty '24 , the first camera came even earlier. As a Middle School student, he joined Gilmour's Lancer Digital Media Club, where Mr. Kilkenney introduced him to filming athletic events. Photography classes with Mr. Most expanded his technical skills, from developing film in the darkroom to mastering Photoshop. As Kevin's portfolio grew, Athletic Director Sean O'Toole helped him take the next step, connecting him with opportunities beyond campus, including securing media credentials to take photos at the MAC Basketball Tournament, which helped open additional professional doors. Now studying Communication Technology at The Ohio State University, Flaherty serves as a student coaches video
assistant for Ohio State Football while continuing to build an impressive freelance résumé that includes the Memorial Tournament and Ohio State athletic events. “The faculty is dedicated to helping students succeed and guiding them as they take the next steps in their careers,” he says. “Their support played a huge role in helping me get to where I am today.”
