“Being a first-generation college student means breaking barriers and learning as you go.”
Today's #MarauderMonday is Maxwell Vigue!<br /> <br /> Max is a senior from York, PA, majoring in Media Arts Production. Mex chose to attend Millersville because of the ‘vibrant community’ he experienced during a student tour. “It felt different compared to every other college campus I toured,” he says.<br /> <br /> In addition to his studies, Max is the producer of Plugged In, a program on MUTV, a student-run television station. He also serves as the associate editor for The Snapper, a student-run newspaper, and is the public relations chair for the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Besides his club involvement, Max has an internship with the University’s Communications and Marketing Department in video production. “Each of these organizations has allowed me to develop and grow in my professional career, increase my academics, and thrive socially,” shares Max. “They have allowed me to become well-rounded as a person.”<br /> <br /> Max’s favorite course so far has been the 2025 II Cinema Ritrovato film festival in Bologna, Italy, during his study abroad program. “Seeing the world with my peers, getting to explore a new country, and hidden elements of my industry was a life-changing experience for me,” he says. “This trip even led me to create my first-ever documentary, 'Marauders in Italia,' which highlighted the experience of the trip.”<br /> <br /> Max’s favorite spot on campus is the gym, as it has brought him many of his close friends and is a place he continues to build his social network.<br /> <br /> In his free time, Max enjoys lifting in the gym, video editing/filming, watching the YouTuber Markiplier, learning martial arts, and spending quality time with his loved ones.<br /> <br /> After graduation, Max plans to enter the field of media production with aspirations of becoming a documentary filmmaker.<br /> <br /> His favorite quote comes from Markiplier: "What I do is temporary, but what I leave behind is forever."
