Trendsetter, Renaissance Man, Teen Heartthrob, Brian Engelsma has been described as all of these and more. Twice voted the class of 2012's most eligible bachelor, Brian is a Political Science and Philosophy Double Major. Considered a man born both ten years too early and ten years too late, this Minnesota native is noted for bringing a humble, down to earth, “aww shucks” attitude to the Forum, and has quickly left his mark as the campus's favorite writer. He is known for his impassioned defense of all things Twilight related as well as being Western Civilization's last hope. Brian is currently touring the country of Denmark in disguise, preparing for his eventual overthrow.
