My name is Riddic Pollard, first year computer science major at the University of Colorado Boulder, seeking consideration for a bid from the Kappa Theta Pi fraternity. I recently enrolled at Boulder this Spring semester and I'm looking forward to meeting new, similarly driven and fun people. I enjoy snowboarding, playing and watching various sports, and lifting weights. I'm Christian born and raised. I'm in the process of learning Spanish and American Sign Language as well as various coding languages including python and C++.
