George Chriss used to film public University Park Undergraduate Association and Daily Collegian meetings when he was at Penn State. He first got involved with open video during his time here.

Chriss was kind enough to share his thoughts and experiences with us in our latest 10 Questions piece, which is after the jump.

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to sit down for a few minutes with Women's Volleyball Coach Russ Rose. Having grown up in a volleyball family, Coach Rose has always been somewhat of an idol for me. Being able to ask him some questions was pretty awesome.
