Jason Briody
B.S. Digital and Computer Forensics, '08
Oakdale, New York
Major:
Computer & Digital Forensics
Beautiful dorms and variety of majors: the deciding factors
“Everyone welcomed you in,” Jason says. He and his three roommates live in McDonald Hall, the 1897 Victorian home of C. P. and Anna Smith that Jason calls “a castle. The dorm rooms are amazing.” The red-brick, slate-roofed McDonald Hall, with turrets, arches, a formal main stairway and an oval lounge, is a co-ed dorm, with two floors each of men and women.
Jason values the new experiences he’s had at Champlain. Jason’s major is Digital and Computer Forensics, a field he hadn’t heard of before coming to Champlain. He chose it due to his interest in psychology and a lifelong fascination with computers. Jason also has developed an interest in acting, and after appearing in series of one-act plays, he won the lead as Cripple Billy in the March 2005 Champlain College Players production of “The Cripple of Inishmaan” by Martin McDonagh.
“There’s always stuff going on,” he says, both on campus and in and around the Burlington area. Jason described his dorm’s white water rafting trip on the Red River in Canada as “one of the most amazing things” he’s ever done.
As for getting used to being away from home, Jason says that it wasn’t as tough as he thought it was going to be. “I don’t call home as much as I thought I would.”
