Interviewing Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn’t on Carly MacManus’ New Year’s resolution list – but she fulfilled that wish within the first two weeks of February. 

Four Quinnipiac students join MacManus ‘23, MBA ‘24, this week in Glendale, Arizona for the experience of a lifetime — covering Super Bowl LVII press week alongside the likes of major media organizations such as ESPN. 

“Showing off our skills on a national level has been an amazing experience,” said Ability Media Director AJ Roberts ‘22.
