Nick Gaglio ’28 came to Alfred University because he wanted to play football at the next level. Now in his junior year, he’s taking on leadership roles and helping other students find their own opportunities along the way.
A double major in criminal justice and sociology, Nick balances academics with football, leadership of the Pre-Law Club, student government, and an active social life.
“When I first joined the football team, they said it was like having built-in best friends, and I couldn’t agree more,” Nick said.
As an offensive lineman, Nick is familiar with taking on big responsibilities. Balancing a packed schedule of classes, practices, meetings and activities has taught him how to manage his time while working toward his goal of attending law school and becoming a lawyer.
But Nick isn’t focused only on his own future. As an upperclassman, he wants to use what he has learned to help other students find their path.
“I’m an upperclassman now. It’d be good for me to share my knowledge with the incoming freshmen to help not just myself get there, but get the next classes there, too,” he said.
As the Pre-Law Club’s new president, Nick wants to give students access to the same opportunities he had as a new student—and help create new ones. This year, he plans to connect students with LSAT preparation and resources that can help them navigate the law school application process.
