How are you involved on campus?
 I’m part of DSK, CAB, WSA, and my fraternity, Omega Delta Epsilon.  I’m also a member of the Lee Honors College.  This past summer, I coordinated Bronco Bash.

What actor would play you in a movie about yourself?
 Josh Radnor.  He plays Ted on “How I Met Your Mother”.  I think he’d be the perfect fit!

 What is your favorite past time?
 I love to watch TV.  I watch too much of it.  At one point in my life, someone could name a show and I could tell them that I at least tried to watch it.  I’m more selective in what I watch now, but I still get really invested in it.

Morning person or night person?
 Night person.  You don’t want to see me until at least an hour and a half after I wake up!

Favorite vacation?
 My favorite vacation was when the University Chorale went to Miami and Mexico City to tour with Seraphic Fire, a professional choir from Miami.  It was such a great experience, and I got a real nice tan for my sister’s wedding the next week!

If you had a theme song what would it be?
Not gonna lie, if I had to have a song playing around me all the time, I would probably want it to be the WMU Alma Mater.

What is your favorite sports team?
 Detroit Tigers!  This is a very fun week for the Stano family!
