Dante Mascio

Balancing the demands of being a Division I football player and a computer engineering student at Bucknell has pushed me to develop strong time management skills, as I’ve learned to balance practices, games, and travel with a rigorous academic workload. Working closely with both teammates on the field and classmates in labs has strengthened my collaborative skills and taught me how to adapt to different roles in group settings. The fast-paced environment of football and the challenging nature of engineering have also trained me to become a quicker learner, able to process and apply information efficiently. Most importantly, the responsibility of managing both commitments has made me highly self-motivated, consistently driving me to stay disciplined and perform at a high level in both athletics and academics, preparing me to bring that same efficiency, adaptability, and drive into professional settings.
