Introducing Alex Burton! You probably might have seen him in a wheelchair or walking backwards on crutches during the first weeks of school. Now that his spliced kneecap is healing, Alex is just enjoying his first year at Xavier. Here are some things you probably didn’t know about our Campus Cutie.

What’s your favorite class at Xavier and why?
Spanish because, even though I’m not the best at it, I think speaking another language is exciting and I always have a good time.
What’s something on your bucket list?
Going off that, I would really like to be able to speak another language fluently. I think it’s cool when people can speak another language without any hesitation, just like you and I talking.
Where are you could you most likely be found on campus?
Hopping between Gallagher, O’Connor, and the caf.
What’s your dream job?
I would love to play in the NBA!
Where is your favorite place to go in Cincinnati?
I’ve only been here for a month! Probably the zoo because I love the zoo – I’ve never been but I know I would love it.
If you had to sum yourself up in a quote, what would it be?
“Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream nobody can see but you.”
