S7E8 Reflections ft. Varsity Club Hall of Fame Inductee Ed Kutschke '86
Q: What was the recruiting journey like from Illinois to Worcester, and how did the coaches and community help you feel at home?
He describes the initial uncertainty about Worcester, the decisive role of his high school coach in guiding him to Holy Cross, and the welcoming environment created by the Holy Cross coaches and alumni, which helped him transition from a public school system to a small, close-knit college community.
S7E8 Reflections ft. Varsity Club Hall of Fame Inductee Ed Kutschke '86
Q: Ed, when you first arrived at Holy Cross in 1982, how did the liberal arts focus of the college really set you on a course to career success after football?
Ed explains that Holy Cross's liberal arts curriculum, combined with a unique consortium program with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, allowed him to pursue engineering interests while playing football, ultimately guiding him toward a broad-based, problem-solving mindset that benefited his career in construction and engineering years later.

Q: Katie, what makes Naemi so deserving of this Olympic call-up, both in terms of hockey sense and her character?
