Matt O’ Donnell, or “Matto” as he is commonly referred to amongst his friends, is not just another face in the crowd of thousands here on campus. On the weekends, or even in his free time during the busy school week, Matt is always with friends; whether he is catching up on his golf game, watching football or cracking jokes at a party. He is an avid college sports fan and says he has been to at least one event for every sports team on campus. Matt can be spotted around campus, walking to class, looking carefree with a smile on his face or in the stacks of West Pattee library, vigorously studying, in hopes of attending Law School after Penn State.
