Malcolm Albino
Name: Malcolm Albino
Hometown: Georgetown, S.C.
Year in School: Sophomore
Major: Management (concentration in International Management)
Minor: Pre-law
It is not just a goal to attract the best in the state to Coastal Carolina, it is a goal to attract the best in the nearby area as well. This was accomplished when Malcolm Albino, a sophomore from Georgetown, decided to enroll at CCU.
When describing the many strengths of Malcolm, it is tough to decide where to start. Perhaps beginning with his resume is the best route. Serving as a resident adviser, an orientation leader and a Teal Traiblazer, there should not be one student on campus who does not know Malcolm by the time he graduates a couple years down the road. On top of all this, he also lends a big hand to the athletic department as a marketing and fan experience student worker. Most impressively, he is enrolled in the Honors Program.
Malcolm’s philosophy is as ambitious as his resume. Calling himself determined, Malcolm is a goal oriented individual who keeps himself on track at all times. He advocates for people to always be themselves and to smile. Whenever possible, Malcolm will do what he can motivate and inspire others.
The third piece worth noting about Malcolm is the future he has mapped out for himself. After graduating from Coastal, he wants to attend the New York University School of Law. He envisions himself as a defense attorney practicing in Manhattan. Eventually, he would like to serve in Congress.
Nothing more fulfilling than a Grand Strand resident staying in the area to attend CCU and then taking the world by storm, right? We thank Malcolm for choosing Coastal and for the impact he has already had on campus.
