How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me develop my professional skills by allowing me to work in the admissions office. My professors have also helped me find my own voice and encouraged me to think critically in many aspects of my life.

My UMBC hack is...

going to the Psychology Building on floor 3 or 4 and doing work! They have desks on those floors, and it is secluded and quiet.

What makes UMBC home?

My friends! Not only does UMBC have a welcoming environment, I have made amazing best friends and acquaintances who make UMBC feel safe and feel like home.

Favorite Spot on Campus

Pig Pen Pond or the stretch of grass and trees outside the library.
