WNCT feature: RCSC student Andrew Hairston

Andrew Hairston is a recreational therapy major, in the Department of Recreation Sciences, who has an inspirational story that is very much ongoing.

WNCT reporter Gabby Sartori recently held a 1-on-1 interview with Hairston, who already has accomplished plenty following a 2021 leg amputation and he is aiming to be part of the Summer Paralympics later this year in Paris.

The full feature aired on WNCT and is available online.
