Favorite Class or Professor and Why
My favorite class and professor would definitely be Professor Justice for MCS 222! He was very engaging and loved to chat with students after class, and he was always very understanding and accommodating to students who were struggling outside of class. He was very compassionate and undoubtedly felt a passion for educating us!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
Here at UMBC, I have had the chance to interact with people of various backgrounds and make so many new connections that I treasure deeply. As I learn more through my classes and those around me, I continue to grow and change for the better.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
How to get involved on campus! It was really scary for me to come to UMBC as most of my friends had gone to other institutions, so it was hard for me to meet new people. As I got more involved on campus, I met many people and made loads of new friends, and I gained all sorts of new experiences through my activities here!
Fun Fact
My house was haunted growing up! It still is... Very spooky!
