Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Hands down Ms. Bonny Tighe. I've had her for Calculus II and Math for Elementary Teachers courses, so I feel confident in saying she's one of the best professors out there. Ms. Tighe really does care about the success of her students, and she wants them to understand what they're learning and what's important about it. She's definitely made a difference on my entire academic career :)

Favorite Spot on Campus

The chairs and tables on the first floor of The Commons. The sun shines through the windows and skylights really nicely there.

My UMBC hack is...

the cafe in the Administration Building has the BEST lunch on campus!
