Andreas Jeninga/The Hoya Levee Brooks (COL ’04) is the Senior Class Committee Chair.

What is your favorite thing you’ve been able to do as the head of the Senior Class Committee?

Everything has its own draw to it. With transition events you get to hear amazing professors, professors that you’ve never heard before, speaking about their college experiences. There is an honesty about that that puts things in perspective. With social events it’s fun to just hang out with your classmates and get to know them for one last time and get to meet people you haven’t met before. And with community service events, it’s not about you feeling good about yourself, but its more about you seeing the need to serve and just doing it.

What is your favorite thing about Georgetown?

The people. I have friends of every color and every background you could think of and I like that. They are caring, charitable, considerate, challenging. They are just good to be around.

What’s your favorite sport?

Lacrosse. I walked on my freshman year but only played a year because I was atrocious. Lacrosse has always been my favorite thing to do because normally, in my geek-dom, I’m just quiet and cheesy. But when I’m on the lacrosse field I go crazy. I like the teamwork atmosphere. I like the fact that I get to hit people. It’s just fun, man. It’s just fun.

What is your favorite movie?

I think my favorite movie is . What’s that movie with the guy from Spiderman about the apple orchard? The Cider House Rules.

What is the most important part of your life?

God, family, friends, school. In that order.

What are you doing after graduation?

I’m moving to L.A. to look for a job. If I’m lucky, I’ll get a job as some producer’s lackey or water boy.

What are you going to be thinking about when you receive your diploma?

The fact that these past four years felt like four months. And that now that I’m going into the real world, the bonds that I have with certain people are less immediate – that makes me sad.

If you could change one thing about Georgetown, what would it be?

I would just hope that people were more intermixed racially, socially, ethnically and religiously and less stuck in their comfort zones. Sitting in a comfort zone can segregate and separate people. If people were more willing to get away from their comfort zones and attach themselves to people and things less familiar it would be really rewarding. In 10 years, if I came back and I saw that, I would be very happy.
