Robby Ollari, Editor-In-Chief

Hi, I'm Robby Ollari and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the Yellow Jacket. I'm a senior Communication major and Sports & Recreation Management minor from Enfield, Conn. This is my third year as YJ Editor, and every second of it has been a blast and totally worth it.

I'm a big Boston sports fan, and I like to spend most of my free time at my family's vacation home in southern Rhode Island. 

If you are an AIC student who wants to write for the Yellow Jacket or if you're just looking to give us any feedback (positive or negative), please feel free to send me an email at any time -- [email protected]
