We’re Falling for Chris Venti ’12!

You may have noticed him in the goal at Frozen Fenway, but you may not have noticed that right now, he is most likely checking out your workout shoes (they better be fresh if you want to win this one’s heart).  It’s Chris Venti: rough-n-tough hockey player who is pretty afraid of his kindergarten teacher (we’re talking nightmare status).  With his warm smile and love for The Goonies, you are “for sure” about to fall for this week’s Campus Cutie… although beware of literally falling on your first date… that’s a deal-breaker with this guy!
