Erica Heiden and Brandon Froelich

Brandon Froelich, Lansing senior, and Erica Heiden, Des Moines, Iowa senior, lived on the 10th floor of Ellsworth Hall their freshman year. They first met at a Hawk Week poster sale. Heiden asked Froelich to hold a poster then walked away from him. “I guess I was kind of a bitch to him. Looking back on it, I don’t know why,” Heiden says.

Her feelings quickly changed when they had their first kiss in his dorm room. They started dating in October when they went to see an animated movie. Three and a half years later, they are still going strong.
