April | 2015 | Bentley University Undergraduate Admission

The first in a series of blogs I’ll do about the people you meet around campus. This “meet the people” will hopefully give you some insight into what I think truly makes Bentley the place it is. From students to professors to staff and everyone else, you’ll hear me emphasize that regardless of where you are, the people that are with you make the experience meaningful. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some awesome people along my four year journey and want to share them with you.

Name: Stephanie Metzger

How we met: This encounter was a little embarrassing for me. I am a staunch supporter of Bentley Women’s Volleyball (and all Bentley sports for that matter), and attend as many home games as I can. I had gotten to know some of the players and we would see each other around campus often. I introduced myself to Steph one day when she was with a few of the other volleyball girls, only to find out that she had been sitting directly in front of me in a finance class for the whole semester. Not my proudest moment.

Class Year: Junior

Hometown: Liberty Hill, Texas

At Bentley: Steph plays on the women’s volleyball team, is a project manager for Service Learning, and claims to be the number 1 referee for intramural sports*
*Andrew’s note: I’ve been the victim of some suspect net violation calls in intramural volleyball so I would debate that last point

Desired superpower: Power to heal or ability to talk to animals

One thing you couldn’t live without: Concerts/Country Music*
*Andrew’s note: Texas is as Texas does

Dream job: Being very high up in a company like Make-A-Wish or a similar company that helps children

Role Model/Person who inspires you: Carrie Underwood*
*Andrew’s note: Same (heart eyes emoji)

Most embarrassing moment: At the beginning of her second semester freshmen year she sat in class in Smith 200 instead of Jennison 200 for 15 minutes*
*Andrew’s note: This would be more understandable if it was first semester freshman year, but I am also guilty of having gone to the wrong academic building so no judgement here

Film Franchise:
Toy Story*/Harry Potter/Twilight/Home Alone/Hunger Games
*Andrew’s note: Harry Potter was the clear front runner and Sid (Andy’s neighbor in Toy Story) is literally the most evil little kid ever and his toys gave me nightmares so I’m not with her on this one
