Hi, I'm Jodi from Rolling Stone. I'm also a 2015 High Point University graduate. When I heard that HPU was going to be in its own episode of The College Tour, I had to come back to campus to see what it was all about. Come meet the cast with me.

I have already seen the college tour, so I am familiar with you. I'm a big fan. I feel like I'm talking to a celebrity right now, so I'm so excited to get into everything. But for the viewers at home who don't know you yet, can you introduce yourself a little bit and talk about a little bit about what you shared on the show?

Yeah, my name is Ryan. I am a senior here at High Point University majoring in marketing with a minor in event management. I talked about all the fun things that we get to do on campus, so our sporting events, some of our campus activities, our food trucks, and so much more.

I mean, it has to be pretty nice to be known as like the fun guy.

Yeah, that's a good moniker to have.
