Her Campus (HC): What made you want to run for homecoming court?
Ryan Wadge (RW): I wanted to run for homecoming court because it was something I’ve always wanted to do but have never had the time to do. Now that I’m in my senior year, I realized it was now or never so I thought that I might as well go for it. I’ve been very involved on campus throughout my time here at the U, and I thought that this would be a great way to demonstrate my love for this university.
HC: What are you looking forward to most during homecoming week?
RW: It’s hard not to be cliche here, but I cannot wait for the game! Utah Football is arguably my favorite part of fall semester. There are few things I love more than a Utes football game on a Saturday night.
HC: Are you going to make a sign for college game day, if so what is it going to say?
RW: If I have time, most definitely. It would probably say something like, “Jared Goff wears crocs” or “Welcome to Sack Lake City, Jared”.
HC: What is your favorite part about being in the MUSS?
RW: My favorite part about being in the MUSS is the energy it brings to campus. Unfortunately the University of Utah is mainly a commuter campus and can feel really large and distant at times. But on game nights, the MUSS embodies the meaning of what it means to be a Ute and to feel pride about being a part of this community. When you’re in the MUSS, you feel like you’re a part of something greater than yourself.
