I’m pleased to announce that Wes Vear is this week’s campus celebrity!
Disclaimer: Wes is super popular and his celebrity standing extends to the full calendar year.
Wes is super involved on campus. He’s been a member of the Men’s Rowing team for the past 4 years, and he’s also a part of Central Student Government and the Club Sports Council.
Wes Vear: “I’m the Club Sports Ex-Officio Representative on the Central Student Government Assembly—so I represent the 1,700 Club Sports athletes in CSG. I’m also the Men’s Rowing Team representative for Club Sports Council.”
Impressed? Wait, it doesn’t stop there…
WV: “I also work in a research lab in the chemistry department, working on water oxidation. And I volunteer with Michigan from the Heart, where athletes go visit kids at Mott’s Children’s Hospital.”
Anything else, Wes?
WV: “I also cook the best breakfast you’ll ever have.”
There you have it folks.
Her Campus: This is an awesome photo. Where was it taken?
WV: The Henley Royal Regatta in England.
HC: Is that your favorite regatta?
WV: By far my favorite regatta. Formal dress code in the Stewards Enclosure.
HC: So that’s why you’re dressed up?
WV: Yeah. Men are required to wear jackets and women are required to wear dresses.
