A lu M n I P R O F I L E
Chris Cuthbert, Artsci’79, could scarcely
imagine his life’s career path when he
entered Queen’s. He fell in love with media
just a few hours after being involved
with CFrC and The Queen’s Journal in
his third year of study.
Today, Cuthbert is one of Canada’s top sportscasters and
the voice of the country’s biggest games. His key to success
is simple: take every opportunity that comes your way.
“Don’t be shy of taking a job that might seem fairly basic
out of the chute, because usually it will take you somewhere
else.”
