This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter.

Attention collegiates, a newly transferred student is attending Suny Oswego. Catching fish is not the only thing this blue-eyed campus cutie does. Fishing, skiing, and swimming in Lake Ontario are some of his favorites. He transferred all the way from Bryant University in Rhode Island last semester. This campus cutie is not only a great asset to our men’s lacrosse team but to the social environment here at Oswego State. If your walking through the halls of Moreland or around the campus grounds, Brian is sure to greet everyone with a smile and introduce himself. This campus cutie’s humorous, benevolent personality has made him a well-known Oswego student here on campus.

I am from a small town outside of Syracuse, New York. In high school, I ran Cross Country and track where I competed in the 100m hurdles, 4x1, 200m and many other events. I now attend SUNY Oswego and I am majoring in journalism and anthropology. I have recently added a minor in health science because of my passion for health and fitness. Last semester, I wrote a health and fitness blog for Her Campus Oswego. I currently work as a personal trainer on campus. I love readings, writing, skiing, running, and I am a major shop-aholic! KM <3
