Name: Jonathan Gourdet

Hometown: New City, N.Y.

Major: Labor Employment Relations

Say hello to the newest campus cutie, Jon Gourdet! Regularly involved on campus, he’s a member of the THON community, is on the executive board of PSU’s Haitian student organization, Club Kreyol, and is even a volunteer at Tales for Tots. He loves sports, his favorite teams include the New York Knicks, New York Giants, and UNC. In his spare times he likes to hang out with his friends and family, and watch movies. Oh, did we mention he loves cooking? (His specialty is breakfast dishes, yum!) Read on to find out a little more about Jon.

HC: favorite TV Show/ Movie?

Jon: Favorite show is Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Seinfeld, favorite movie is a tie between Sound of Music and Inception

HC: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Jon: Ignorance, people that say “uh huh” instead of “you’re welcome” and people that drag their feet!

HC: What do you want to accomplish after you graduate from PSU?

Jon: I want to travel the world.                     

HC: What do you think your best quality is?

Jon: I love to laugh and smile.

HC: What’s your favorite holiday?

Jon: MLK Day!

HC: What do you think the most important part of a relationship is?

Jon: Trust and communication.

HC: What qualities do you look for in a girl?

Jon: A girl that’s quirky, smart, genuine, conversational, and spontaneous. Physically I have a soft spot for tall girls and dimples. 

HC: What is your ideal date?

Jon: I think the dinner and movie is really nice but non-traditional dates are the most fun. Bowling, rock climbing, going to the zoo, or comedy show are some good ones.

HC: What do you think the best/worst thing is about dating in college?

Jon: I think the best part about dating in college is that you are in the same points in life and no more meaningless chasing. And the worst thing about dating is not having the chance to explore.
