While the weather outside may be cold and gray, February is a really exciting month from Black History Month to Valentine’s Day – and those days off school. Her Campus Akron wanted to get in on this excitement with UA’s Most Eligible Bachelor 2020. We asked student organizations across campus, in every field and interest, to nominate their most eligible bachelor! We were looking for single, masculine-identifying undergraduates to represent their student organization, show off their school pride and tell us why they should be crowned UA’s Most Eligible Bachelor!

We will be posting all our candidates’ profiles right here on our page, and we will be posting the candidates’ pics all over our social media, so stay tuned through February 22nd for all our bachelor action. Soon, everyone will have the chance to cast their vote for their favorite bachelor on our social media! Now without further ado: Garret Freund!
