He spent his summer being seranaded, chased by bulls, participating in Scotland’s own Highland Games, and flaneuring (that is, wandering aimlessly for a sense of spiritual purpose.) As if his summer wasn’t exciting enough, he recently starred in Davidson’s own She Stoops To Conquer. And now he’s walking around our very own campus, live in 3-D action. Despite his tremendous talents, he’s delightfully humble. Not so humble, of course, that he would protest to sharing a bit of his humor with us as HerCampus’s latest Campus Cutie. Without furthur ado, we present to you: Spencer Ballantyne!

Some big shot Broadway musical directors were going to fly Spencer up to New York to audition for a musical earlier this year, but our man opted out. Why? He would have had to miss his first semester at Davidson! On whether or not he thought he made the right decision, Spencer assured us, “Of course! How else would I have been able to meet such awesome people?” We think you made the right decision too, S.P.¢!
