HCIU: Tell us a fun fact about yourself.

Collin: Whether it’s solo or with a lovely lady, I love getting down on the dance floor. I even took a Hip-Hop dance class last term to perfect my “Dougie.”

HCIU: What are some hobbies you have? What do you like to do in your spare time?

Collin: If I’m not spending free time with my friends or family, I usually enjoy drawing or organizing club events, like fundraisers and dances.

HCIU: What do you hope to accomplish in your time here at IU?

Collin:Beyond graduating and becoming involved at IU, I want to meet all the Hoosiers on campus. I don’t want to “network”; I want friendships.

HCIU: What has been your most memorable experience so far?

Collin: After a late night out with the guys on my floor, I stumbled upon a Wright Quad snowball war. The first snowfall brought hundreds out in the middle of the night for an epic snowball fight.

HCIU: Do you have a favorite spot on campus?

Collin: At Wright Quad. Spending time with the guys always leads to something. Feel free to stop by! Who knows what we’ll be up to?

HCIU: What do you look for in a girl?

Collin: Dark hair, dark skin, a captivating smile, and a dynamite dancer. Well, I guess three out of four would be enough.
