Manny Ramirez ’24, M.S. ’26, discovered his creative career path while getting a taste of social media stardom.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Story and Photos By Nancy Sheehan<\/p>\n

Manny Ramirez \u201924, M.S. \u201926, is an Instagram celebrity on campusthanks to his popular Mic\u2019d Up Mondays video series. What started as a simple undergraduate internship project in Student Affairs turned into a budding viral sensation that showcases Ramirez\u2019s easygoing charisma and natural ability to connect with fellow students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramirez is a first-generation college student who, with the support of the Worcester State community, learned to navigate the challenges of higher education and emerged as a campus leader, graduating with a bachelor\u2019s in business administration, management, and operations. Now a graduate assistant in the Office of Inclusive Excellence and Belonging, Ramirez is using his platform to uplift his fellow students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mic\u2019d Up Mondays appears at instagram.com\/wsureslife and features Ramirez roaming campus with a microphone, asking students about everything from pop culture trivia to rhyming challenges. Students who participate in the video interviews have the chance to win dining dollars. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ramirez exudes a warm personality and genuine interest in connecting with others, making the series a must-watch for students each week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI never expected it to go this far,\u201d Ramirez said. When he began Mic\u2019d Up Mondays as an undergraduate, \u201cIt was more like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m here for an internship and I\u2019m going to do this,\u2019 and then it kind of just took off.\u201d Students now recognize him as he walks around campus with his microphone. Some are more eager than others to participate, and it\u2019s always up to each student to decide whether to talk with him.<\/p>\n

Each week revolves around a different theme. One week he might ask, \u201cWhere is the green light on a stoplight?\u201d and \u201cIn which direction does the sun set?\u201d while another might introduce pop culture trivia: \u201cWhen did the first High School Musical movie premiere?\u201d and \u201cWhich animated movie features the song \u2018Let It Go\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramirez has also approached students wearing headphones to ask what they\u2019re listening to. As his video production skills have grown through his hands-on experience with Mic\u2019d Up Mondays, he\u2019s become more comfortable in front of the camera. By editing the videos each week, he\u2019s developed his creative and technical abilities, too.<\/p>\n

Ramirez engages with students in a fun, lighthearted way that resonates with both the campus community and families of students.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had people actually recognize me and come up to say they watch my videos,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just happens randomly. During the homecoming football game, a mother of a student said, \u2018Are you Mic\u2019d Up Mondays? I love watching your videos every week.\u2019 It\u2019s cool to know that it goes beyond just the residents here, that parents and families also see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the youngest of three and the first in his family to attend college, Ramirez carries the hopes and expectations of his family. He said he harnesses this to motivate himself and to give back to the community. As a resident assistant on campus, for example, he works to foster an inclusive space for students.<\/span><\/p>\n

While he is the one in front of the camera, he said support of others is critical to the series\u2019 success. Kristen Nelson, director of residence life and student experience, gave Ramirez the idea of doing the series and provided him with a microphone to get started. Sarah Garabedian, a graduate assistant on the residence life marketing team, does the camera work while Ramirez is wielding the mic and then helps with video editing, especially when Ramirez is busy with class, soccer, and other commitments.<\/p>\n

Now, as he pursues his master\u2019s degree in business management, Ramirez is exploring job opportunities in marketing and social media, hoping to blend his passions and capitalize on the online influence he has already built.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the video series has allowed him to learn more about himself and his capabilities, especially in terms of being comfortable speaking to a (virtual) crowd. He\u2019s also gained confidence in his creativity, and in his ability to dream up engaging content that connects with the campus community. He sees the potential to someday use his video production skills to benefit him in his future career. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about how to create interesting content and connect with people through Mic\u2019d Up Mondays,\u201d Ramirez said. \u201cIt\u2019s allowed me to develop my creativity and people skills, and it would be great if maybe that could translate to a career in marketing or social media someday.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
