New Faculty & Staff Spotlight: Mr. Chris Golian

What is your role at Holy Name?
Admissions Associate 

Why Holy Name? In other words, why did you decide to join our school community?
As an alum of the school (shout the 2014 class) Holy Name is a very special place to me and has remained so even 10 years after being a student here.  

What is your favorite thing about Holy Name thus far?
It has always been the people, teachers, coaches, administrators, and the students. 

What is your favorite part about your job? 
Thus far it has been interacting with the students both current and prospective through the shadowing program. 

Where is the most interesting place you have visited?
Key West, Florida 

What is one fun fact about yourself?
I won two National Championships while playing football at the University of Mount Union. 

Who or what inspired you to be in your position?
It would be difficult to cite one person, so I will give the credit to the Holy Name community as a whole. They made such an impact in my life, when I saw the opportunity to make that impact myself I knew all those people would want me to take on that opportunity.  

Which books/authors or songs/artists have influenced you the most?
Take It Easy by The Eagles, anything by Old Dominion.
For Books I would say You Can't Make This Up by Al Michaels, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Album, and Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger.

What is the most helpful advice you’ve received?
It's not what you're capable of. It's what you're willing to do.

What is one piece of advice you would like to give the students at Holy Name?
Enjoy every moment, there is an emphasis put on the next destination, but not as much of an emphasis on the journey required to get there. So enjoy that journey as you move toward the next destination. Those moments are some of the best ones.
