Ben Lepper: A Multi-Talented Student at Holy Cross University
Ben Lepper, a native of Wellesley, Massachusetts, is a vibrant and versatile student at Holy Cross University. He is currently studying English and is known for his involvement in a variety of activities both on and off campus.
During his time at Holy Cross, Ben has taken on roles such as The Spire's contributor, ESPN+ Production Assistant & Broadcaster, Tour Guide Coordinator, and Ultimate Frisbee player. His passion for sports is evident in his roles, and he even had the opportunity to announce an NFL Draft selection for the New England Patriots during his freshman year.
When he's not immersed in his academic or extracurricular pursuits, Ben can be found enjoying some downtime. His favorite drink at Cool Beans is a black iced coffee, and he often visits the JCC, a favorite spot on campus. When it comes to food, Ben's taste buds lean towards boneless buffalo wings from Kimball, and off-campus, he enjoys dining at The Fix.
Ben's entertainment preferences are as varied as his activities. His favorite movie is Draft Day, and he is a fan of the TV show Arrested Development. When it comes to music, EMBRZ is his favorite singer/group, and his current favorite song is Make It Easy by Robby East & Lizzy Land.
Traveling is another passion for Ben, with Vancouver being his favorite place he has visited so far. His favorite memory at Holy Cross is the football game at BC last fall, although he anticipates that the upcoming basketball game against BU will be a close contender.
Ben's post-graduation plans are simple: "Someone please hire me." He is also hoping to cross an item off his Holy Cross bucket list by going to Miss Worcester.
Despite the busy schedule, Ben finds joy in the small things. Randomly running into friends in unexpected places, listening to chill house music, and talking sports with people are some of the things that make his day better. He also confessed to having a guilty pleasure: he might be becoming a WWE fan.
Ben's words to live by are "Make your presence felt." This philosophy is evident in everything he does, from his academic pursuits to his extracurricular activities. He is graduating in 2025, and we can't wait to see where his presence will be felt next.
Ben had an embarrassing moment last year when he sprained his meniscus while sledding. Despite this setback, he continues to approach life with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Before going to bed, he texts his girlfriend, and his favorite color is orange.
Ben Lepper is a testament to the versatility and vibrancy of Holy Cross students. His passion, drive, and unique personality make him a standout member of the Holy Cross community.
