Her Campus: What organizations have you most liked participating in on campus and why?
Chris Cooper: Being a Team Leader and now Supervisor for Boiler Gold Rush has been one of the most exciting and rewarding things I have done while at Purdue. The people I volunteer with are some of the craziest, nicest, and most enthusiastic people you will ever meet!

HC: What do you have left to do on your Purdue bucket list?
CC: Explore the hidden tunnels under Purdue and find out where they go.

HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
CC: Working for a consumer products company (i.e. P&G, Nike, etc.) and engineering things that you use every day.

HC: Last song you listened to?
CC: “Paradise” by Coldplay

HC: Favorite sports team?
CC: Cincinnati Bengals: Who Dey!

HC: What’s one thing that people don’t know about you?
CC: I keep small mementos of my past experiences and travels in my wallet.

HC: What appeals to you most in a girl?
CC: I like when a girl finds humor in everyday things and never takes herself too seriously.

HC: Worst pick up line you’ve used or heard?
CC: Is your dad a thief? Because he must have stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

HC: Ideal date?
CC: I think ice skating at Millennium Park in Chicago followed by dinner at Giordano’s Pizza would make for a great date. You have a chance to be active and have fun but also get to sit down and talk over amazing food.

HC: Long hair or short hair on a girl?
CC: Long hair is definitely better on a girl. My theory is that if Rihanna can’t pull off short hair then I don’t think any girl will ever be able to.

HC: Doing anything exciting over Christmas break?
CC: Over break I will be catching up with friends back home and enjoying time with my extended family. I will also be working at the Cincinnati Sports Mall as a camp counselor.

HC: What are you looking forward to next semester?
CC: I’m really excited for another awesome season of Purdue Basketball! I’m also looking forward to Spring Break and Grand Prix of course.
