This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Conn Coll chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Get ready people. Hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, Chris Swanson embodies all the characteristics of a perfect Southern gentleman.  A Senior at Conn, Chris makes his presence known on the men’s water polo team where he plays a key role with the team’s success.  Chris has an intellectual side to him as well, as an art history major and a history minor.  He is frequently found adding his thoughts to the two classes he enrolled in with Professor Downs this semester (can’t get enough?). The student who nominated Chris said, “I love Chris’ Southern twang! He is so charming – and an athlete too!” Clearly, this has been a long time coming.

Hometown: New Orleans, LA
