Favorite Class or Professor and Why

GES 328: Environmental Policy with Dr. Lansing. It's a great introduction to domestic environmental issues/potential solutions.

Favorite Spot on Campus

7th floor of the Albin O. Kuhn Library. Unmatched views of campus (and Baltimore City on a clear day!)

My UMBC hack is...

to reserve study rooms in the library ahead of time so that you have a place where you need to be studying for a set amount of time. They are an awesome tool for building discipline in getting work done.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC makes it a point to build self-reliant individuals. Students here are always charting their own path when it comes to campus organizations, internships, and on-campus jobs. The spirit is contagious, and I think that it has rubbed off on me.
