Hello. My name is Mark Blazek and I’m a sophomore here at Hartwick. I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania. Right now I’m biology major with future plans to attend graduate school to become a physical therapist. I’m a big fan of the Cleveland Indians and Browns (I know…ouch) and the Philadelphia 76ers. Basketball is my main activity but I also enjoy watching movies, playing ping pong, sand volleyball, and Texas Hold ‘Em. My favorite player is Chris Paul, but I enjoy watching Steve Nash, Deron Williams, and Dwayne Wade.
On a more serious note, I chose Hartwick because the school offers individual attention in the classroom which was important to me. Hartwick’s collaboration with Sage Graduate School for guaranteed placement in their physical therapy program was another attractive aspect. The campus community made me feel at home even though I live five hours away. Also, the view from the top of the hill is unbelievable!
On the basketball side of things, I wanted to help revive a basketball program with a rich history of success. The gym is newly renovated and a great place to play. The team had a successful year last year and I look for things to only get better.
