Mitch in front of Big Ben |
Leaving the eastern suburb of Mentor to
come to Benedictine was a big step, but just a first step for former
baseball player and golfer, Mitch Wilcosky ’09. After graduation,
Mitch went on to Canisius College, a small catholic college in
Buffalo, New York. He earned a renewable partial four year
scholarship from the school and is majoring in political science with
a minor in philosophy. At Canisius, Mitch is involved in Circle K
(college’s version of key club), Alpha Sigma Nu, a Jesuit honor
group and earned his paralegal certificate. He also was awarded the
Raichle Pre-Law scholarship for both his junior and upcoming senior
year.
This past semester Mitch also took
advantage of a study abroad program in London. He is now attending
London Metropolitan University. With Fridays off, Mitch has taken
advantage of his time across the pond. He has been to Denmark,
Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Lucerne, Florence, Rome and
Barcelona. He also has been cliff diving in Wales, which he says is
his new favorite sport!
Once home the process of applying to
law school begins. He hopes to attend a school in Washington DC or
Chicago.
