Temple athlete, Derek Holland, has the body of a future track star, with the mind of a future CEO. And, yes, he’s real! I know, personally, that Mr. Holland is a serious catch! His love for the environment and helping people are embodied through his passionate pursuit of his public health major and environmental studies minor. Not to mention the fact that this Campus Cutie has a sensitive side, that he shows through his poetry and art. He’s kind of shy, so don’t be afraid to make the first move. It’ll definitely be worth it!
