Hello everyone! My name is Ben Esper Blizard and I am a recent graduate of Columbia University, where I pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in German Literature and Cultural History and concentrating in Linguistics. In addition to my academics, I was a member of the Columbia Unive...rsity Men's Swimming and Diving team. Outside of the pool, I was involved in multiple organizations on campus, including Columbia’s Bacchanal and Columbia’s Sports, Media, and Entertainment group. Being a student-athlete at Columbia has prepared me with the skills and work ethic required to be successful after college through my time management skills, teamwork orientation, and competitive drive. Feel free to ask me any questions about Columbia, life in New York City, or any questions about balancing academics and athletics. Show more
