My advice to prospective students...

is to try new things!! You don't really know if you'll like something until you experience it. Plus it's better to take the risk and maybe find a new passion or meet new friends.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

how to use my time and resources better. I lacked a sense of balance to match my sense of purpose and I think I could have been a little more successful, but each semester I get better at it!

What makes UMBC home?

The people. Everyone is so genuine, helpful, and wants to see you happy and successful.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

the Alumni Awards event which takes place during Homecoming. It's only open to students who have received certain scholarships or are involved with the Student Alumni Association (SAA). One of the recipients was the Surgeon General, Jerome Adams and after the ceremony I got to talk with him, meet his daughter, and take a selfie!
