Rob Mansfield

Q&A with Rob:

Where’d you grow up?
Wall, New Jersey—on the Jersey Shore but I don’t fist pump (Okay, sometimes I do).

Favorite superhero?
Does Hannah Montana count as a superhero?

Who do you respect more than anyone else in this world?
Corey Matthews and Topanga Lawrence because they showed me what a relationship should be like.

Favorite sport? And why was Gordon the best fit for you?
I love baseball. I chose Gordon because of the great environment it had, solid athletic program that’s growing (I played on the baseball team) and because of the pretty girls.

What’s your favorite thing to do on campus?
Learn—or maybe anything that involves free food.

Any advice for high school students about college?
Do not try to make up an answer on an Old Testament exam, especially if your professor helped translate the Bible (Marv Wilson, a professor at Gordon, helped translate the NIV Bible and spotted my fabricated answers).
