Arianna Smith (c/o 2012 Ophio14) and Phillip McIntosh (c/o 2012 Ophio14) met fall 2008 in the university laundry mat. In between laundry loads, we continued to awkwardly meet eyes but no one ever spoke. We soon realized we had all of the same classes since we were both in the 5-year MBA program. Though we started as “study buddies”, we quickly knew there was something special about one another & we dated throughout our time at Hampton. We are now engaged and planning to marry in November 2023.
