Special Thanks to Alan Hahn ’91 as Alumni Guest Speaker with Suffolk County Community College Sports Management & Radio and Television Production

Suffolk County Community College Alumni Association Extends Special Thanks to Alan Hahn ’91

Suffolk County Community College students, alumni, faculty and staff connected online for Alan Hahn’s interview by Radio and Television Production student Aidan Quinlan.

Mr. Hahn shared his journey from attending Suffolk County Community College to his current experiences in the media industry. A former member of the Men’s Basketball team and a student reporter for the Compass Newspaper, Suffolk provided areas to hone skills and transfer to Long Island University.

Alan shared his journey from a freelance reporter to becoming a full-time employee at Newsday. He discussed insights from the impact of technology on journalism and the importance of building a strong professional network as early as possible. Hahn noted the difference between writing news stories to publishing five books in addition to his other roles. Alan hosts The Bart & Hahn Show Weekdays at 12pm ET. on ESPN Radio, ESPN+ & the ESPN app covering emerging topics in the Sports Industry. Students learned behind the scenes ‘it’s like preparing for a test everyday’ reviewing hot topics and adjusting to developing stories.

In reflection Hahn mentioned, ‘If you were to tell me years ago, as a Suffolk student, I would be on television I would not have believed you.’ Thankfully we can catch Alan regularly on MSG Network as New York Knicks Analyst.

The event was hosted by Professors Alphonses Heraghty, Sports Management and Professor Gayle Sheridan ’85, Radio and Television Production
