Professor Michael Rizzo and the St. John’s journalism department offered students a unique opportunity.
St. John’s University’s journalism department held an invite-only event on April 4 allowing students to interact with former St. John’s basketball player Bill Wennington. Throughout the near hour-and-a-half long panel, Wennington shared life experiences, professional advice and discussed his path from NBA champion to a 20-year career in sports broadcasting.
On a muggy June day in Montreal, Canada, a 16-year-old Wennington was thrown out of his house.
