If you haven’t had the pleasure of personally getting to know Hanul Moon, then chances are you’ve seen this exceptionally well dressed guy walking around campus. Hanul is a sophomore in the Gabelli School of Business and juggles a rigorous schedule with varsity diving, three club sports and an RA position. When Hanul isn’t at swim practice or attending business meetings, he enjoys practicing yoga and hanging out with friends. Hanul’s electrifying personality makes him one of the most well-rounded students at Fordham and a shoe-in for this week’s campus celeb!

How did you decide to come to Fordham? I chose Fordham mainly because of diving. Other big reasons include: being in NYC while still having a campus, the prestige of the business school.
Do you have any tips for students who are trying to balance schoolwork, extracurriculars, and other obligations like internships? Stay organized, but don’t over do it. Get an agenda and use it daily, but only if you’re comfortable with it. If you force yourself to organize when you’re a messy person, it will be more detrimental to you. Everyone must find their own “method in the madness”.
What’s your favorite thing about New York? Definitely shopping.
Do you have a favorite Fordham memory? Over winter break I was teaching my teammate how to moon walk on the ice. I slipped and fell. I broke the fall with my cheek.
Where’s your favorite spot on campus? Cosi. Tomato Basil Soup for days.
If you could give one piece of advice to a Fordham collegiette, what would it be? Lighten up. We may be in NYC, but relax. It’s college. Have fun, grab a drink, and meet someone new. Just because you have friends, doesn’t mean you can’t have more. Don’t limit yourself because you’re comfortable, challenge yourself because you want to grow.
What’s your dream job? My dream job would be CEO of J.crew or the Editor in Chief of GQ.
Who is your favorite professor at Fordham? Professor James VanOosting
What’s one thing everyone would be surprised to learn about you? I am very insecure.
