Gregory W. Wallace is so unimportant that his only media mention, an article in The Washington Post, noted his “crisp diction,” ownership of a “paisley tie,” and looks similar to “one of the Beatles back when they were the Beatles.”

His social life reached a new low upon joining otherwise professional staff of the Saint Anselm Crier. As news editor, his job is to write the stories that even reporters won’t take, including the beats of politics, health, technology, and South America. In addition to writing for the News and Culture sections, Wallace avoids the Opinion section and holds -- at an arms length -- in great respect the Sports section. His blog, Dispatches from Campus, makes up for a lack of campus news with a flashy presentation and some photography.

In the heat of the presidential campaign (summer 2008), Wallace worked with the ABC News’ Political Unit in Washington, D.C. as an intern. He wrote, researched, and assisted with the digital and broadcast platforms. His political schedules were published daily in The Note. He has also assisted on-site at special events such presidential debates, major interviews, and election night coverage for ABC News, CBS News, and CNN.

A persistent independent, Wallace wrote for the WMUR-TV Democratic and Republican 2008 presidential blogs. He covered election night watch parties, students campaigning for the state legislature, and campaign use of video games and social networking from the college student perspective. Yet even with national and local media experience, he is most-widely known for his prepubescent role as the Voice of Great Brook School.

His yet-to-be-started career took a turn when Saint Anselm College accepted him after graduation from Peterborough’s slightly-acclaimed ConVal High School. Once the biology department had scared him away from studying pre-medicine, he found solace in the politics major and communications certificate (similar to a “minor” at non-Benedictine schools).

Wallace simulates busyness and pads his resume with campus participation: he is a Kevin Harrington Ambassador of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and a member of the Learning Liberty taskforce on Greening the College. He socializes with important people as a commissioner of the New Hampshire Postsecondary Education Commission. As an emeritus high school class president and mock trial lawyer, he rose to new heights at Saint Anselm as officer on the Campus Activities Board and a New Student Orientation leader.

He has worked in almost every office at the college, including Admission and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, as well as Advancement and the Coffee Shop. Currently he writes, researches, and develops creative ideas for the Communications and Marketing office. His hobbies include nothing particularly interesting, and he hopes to find time to return to them some day.
