Anthony Probst
Anthony Propst is a comic book lover who shared his enthusiasm with the entire college during the recent College Comic Con.
“As Special Events Chair for the College Activities Board I was the one spearheading the event,” he said. “I was told that a student who was here for Admitted Student Day made their decision to come to the school based on Comic Con, which gave me a great feeling.”
He said he’s also shared conversations with SUNY Canton President Zvi Szafran, who is a fellow comic collector. “I really like older comics,” Anthony said while holding a vintage Daredevil issue.
Anthony originally came to Canton from Mechanicville for the Game Design and Development program but found his home in the Sports Management major. “Dr. Para and Mr. Metcalf both helped me make the change and get into this program and I loved being here ever since,” he said. “I have made some amazing friends and met incredible professors who’ve given me so much knowledge and help throughout my years here.”
He recalled other unique experiences at SUNY Canton, including the 2019 Gunna and City Girls concert. “Getting to see them live my freshman year was a great experience,” he said.
Anthony was also involved with the annual Nicole Fleury Memorial 5K run, which helps fund a scholarship at the college. “Being a part of an event dedicated to the memory of a SUNY Canton student was a great feeling,” he said.
