If you’re looking for a hopeless romantic, who’s creative and has a knack for music, look no more. You may have heard this week’s campus cutie singing and playing guitar late at night, or walking around campus with a video camera attached to his hand seeking out the location for his new film. Michael Cort is intelligent, creative, charismatic, and funny. We’re sure you’ll find him completely irresistible.

Favorite Film You’ve Made? My drum line documentary. It’s an entire documentation of my senior year with my friends. It was really long and took a very long time to make, but it was worth it. Everyone got to see it and it went over really well.

Favorite Musicians: The Decemberists, The head and the Heart, U2, and Blink 182.
Life Goals: I want to be Indiana Jones, or an indie folk rock star, or famous film director.
Most Memorable High School Experience: Senior Trip to Disney. Massive amount of memories there, I’ll never forget that.
Why did you choose TCNJ? I heard it would be a good school for me; it seems to have a good reputation.
Best Experience at TCNJ? That’s a hard one; probably running around in my morph suit with five other people on the floor, scaring the entire freshman class in the Towers.
Do you have any plans for your stay here at TCNJ? I have a lot of goals for CUB. I want to move up in ranks and pursue a higher position, like committee chair, or maybe even director one day. I’d also like to get a band going and perform in front of the campus, the songs I’ve written.
Favorite Things about TCNJ? CUB, in addition to the beautiful campus and all of the people here.
Ideal First Date: Probably an outdoor concert followed by a walk on the beach. That would be awesome. And of course there would have to be a guitar serenade in there.
If you did serenade a girl, what would the song be? The Rhythm of Love by the Plain White Tees. I love that song.
Pet Peeves: Advertisements on Youtube. Oh, and sellouts.
Weird Habits: I have a tendency to drive under the speed limit… like all the time.
