Meet junior Shawn Perry. Originally from Altoona Commonwealth campus, this cutie is looking forward to leaving his prints here at University Park. While majoring in telecommunications with a minor of information sciences and technology, Shawn hopes to become a network manager some day. When he isn’t studying, Shawn spends his time exploring photography and singing professionally.

HC: Name 3 interesting facts about yourself.

Shawn: I’m comical (in a sarcastic way), my approach to life is business minded and I have a foot fetish.

HC: Explain your ideal date.

Shawn: Doing something beyond the ordinary, like going to the gym or grocery shopping together, you know? Something you wouldn’t normally do on a first date.

HC: You mentioned you enjoy singing. What’s your favorite music genre to sing?

Shawn: Rythem & blues. I enjoy the lyrics and the words of a ballad plus learning to master a new song is always challenging. Miguel is one of my favorite artists.

HC: Are you dating anyone at the moment?

Shawn: Yes, I’m taken, going on a 3-month relationship.

HC: What 3 qualities do you find attractive in a spouse?

Shawn: Oral hygiene (I can’t stress that enough), someone who is not considerably fashion forward but has a unique style and is working toward building their future.
