When Andrew Greenblatt, BS ’17, met Mckenzie Sachs, BS ’15, MS ’18, for their first date at the Off the Waffle in downtown Eugene, there was an instant attraction. Amid the sugary sweetness of breakfast foods, they talked about everything under the sun, from their shared love for travel to a passion for taking advantage of all of Oregon’s natural beauty.
Both undergraduate students at the time—Andrew seeking a degree in journalism and Mckenzie pursuing one in communication disorders and sciences—the two were very focused on their academic futures. What they did not know, however, is that that future would include them tying the knot nearly five years later.
