 Rob Winger reporting live from the Stevenson University Mustang Athletic gala joined here by Stevenson legend emcee McFadden emcee Thank you for taking the time to join us on the show Rob. Thanks for having me So just talk about the gala. First of all, it's something that's brand new to the university Something that you now have a chance to be a part of right. It is pretty exciting I have been through so many have sat through so many athletic banquets I have been here for 20 years, but I've sat through more than 20 athletic banquets because Brett invited me prior to actually Hiring me here at Stevenson. So but this is really a great turn of events. It's really exciting that gymnasium looks amazing Like the student athletes look beautiful and handsome and it's really really fun to see everybody dressed up and excited about this event Now you mentioned you've been coming to the athletic banquet for over 20 years, which has to be tough when you're only 24 years old It's yes, you're right. I was a child prodigy. Let's all get that straight When you first came on campus and saw what at the time village Julie was correct now what Stevenson's become Could you ever have imagined having an event like this in a building like this on a campus like this? Never never so I did start at village Julie College. We didn't even have a gymnasium on campus So could I imagine an event in a gymnasium? No, I could not so literally have seen every change here at Villa Stevenson and it is really exciting and you're right that our growth of facilities is amazing and they're gorgeous and We have just changed in so many ways Now to have been here for that full time. It's a big commitment What has made you stick around and believe in this Stevenson philosophy this Stevenson family and sense of community That's made you want to stay well I think you hit the nail on the head when you said the Stevenson family and the sense of community So I think that I work with great people Otherwise, I probably would not have been here for 20 years now. My boss just happens to be standing right over your shoulder So he is the best boss in the United States of America. Maybe the world, but Actually, it is true like I love working with Brett Adams and our entire staff We have great people here at Stevenson that we work with and I am so lucky in what I do And that is to get to work directly with the student athletes on a daily basis Well emcee as a student athlete who you certainly worked with on a daily basis whether you always wanted to or not We appreciate everything that you've given back to this University and its community and you certainly are one of the people who makes it such a special place for all of us here So, well, thank you, Rob. I appreciate that and thank you for taking the time to join us Of course, thank you Bob Linger reporting live from the Stevens University Mustang athletic gala
