What makes UMBC home?
UMBC fosters a diverse community that strives for inclusive excellence, making it a home that uplifts people, curates kinship, and places acceptance at the forefront of its education system.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
My favorite local shop is Atwater's in Catonsville - they have amazing drinks, incredible food, and the vibe is perfect for an afternoon study session!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
My favorite professor that I've had at UMBC is John Borrero in the Psychology Department. He's incredibly personable, friendly, and his lectures are always engaging. He always made an effort to strike up conversation and get to know you as a student, which I greatly appreciated in my first year on campus.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
That you're going to make mistakes, but owning up to and learning from them is how you grow as a person!
