Jared is a freshman financial economics major, but he would also like to do something in astronomy and anthropology. He hails from Goshen, N.Y. In his free time he likes to play ‘death frisbee” with his hallmates and hang out on Tiernan 4. He is one of the new Midnight Ramblers and a member of the Campus Activity Board. He enjoys going to Chabad and is looking foward to applying to be a Meridian in the late fall.

What has your experience on campus been so far?

It is a good balance being as involved as I can get and just reaching my goal in joining an a cappella group has been an amazing experience.

‘My biggest indulgence is….”

Keeping up with the New York Mets.

If you could waste $500 where would it go?

Paper towels for Susan B. Anthony.

What is the toughest lesson you have learned in college?

You need to work hard to play hard.

If you were to make an ice cream flavor what would be in it?

It would be named Rambler Berry, and it would have bits of Josh Hatcher, caramel and strawberries.

Worst fashion mistakes?

Socks and sandals.

What has singing with the Ramblers been like?

It’s like a whole group of brothers. Even though I came from a family of no younger or older brothers, I feel like I have meshed well with them, and I feel like I’ve known them for a longer time than I have.

What puts you in a good mood?

Music, Jewish food and Tiernan 4.

What farm animal do you identify with most?

I would be the sheep dog because I need to keep everything in line.
