Nick Ocasio

Community Manager, Academy for Innovation & Entrepreneurship

By day, Nick engages and supports the UMD innovation ecosystem in the Academy for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, helping big ideas take root and grow. By night, he's the co-host on an NFL podcast that covers 4 downs of football takes in 30 minutes called First & 30. He genuinely enjoys connecting with students. There's nothing better than seeing someone light up when something clicks. Carillon Studio is a fantastic way to make a positive impact on students as they begin their journey at UMD. He loves watching his cats act like tiny, uncoordinated acrobats. They keep life interesting!
