CSIL provides hazing prevention training for all registered student organizations.
2 Millersville University alumni were on the ground in Italy and stationed stateside with NBC to cover the 2026 Winter Olympics. <br /> <br /> Michael Monte ‘21 was in the Alps at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics as a freelance audio engineer for NBC Sports. He was stationed at the sliding center, covering the bobsleigh, skeleton and luge events. <br /> <br /> “This was my first Olympics being around the whole environment," shares the entertainment technology grad. “I was responsible for working with the reporter on doing interviews at the finish line. As the American athletes finished their runs, they came to talk to us.” <br /> <br /> While it might have been hard to fully comprehend just how fast the Olympians were going during their events, Monte reports they hit speeds of 85 to 90 miles per hour. <br /> <br /> He says that the interviews were particularly impactful. “We interviewed the Ukrainian athlete, skeleton pilot Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified from his sled racing event because he wore a helmet adorned with images of Ukrainian war victims,” he says. “It was so powerful. What he represented was so much bigger than sports and Olympics.” <br /> <br /> The Winter 2026 Olympics weren’t the first games that fellow Marauder Jean Casimir ‘14 worked. In fact, his first experience behind-the-scenes of the global athletic competition began when he was still a student at Millersville. As a senior in 2014, he secured an internship with NBC where he helped to cover the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. <br /> <br /> That internship turned into a full-time gig with NBC. Since then, Casimir has provided coveragefor six games from 2016 to 2026. It’s a fast-paced environment. “Here in the United States, we had 1,800 people working on Olympics content, and we had just over 1,000 people on site in Italy,” he says, noting how technology has changed in the 12 years since he attended the games as an intern. <br /> <br /> While his usual role is as the digital post-production and video operations manager, he was stationed at NBC’s headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, as a producer and Highlights Factory supervisor for the games. “We’re the center responsible for creating highlights on all of our digital platforms,” he says.
