Comedian and actor Scott Seiss was a founding member of Dog Collar Comedy, UMBC's improv troupe that I am a part of!
...of the great community, the beautiful campus, and the excellent arts education offered here. It's close to home but it's given me a place to learn how to live independently and build a strong foundation for a career.
I'm really loving my Typography class with Suzanne Marshall! She's clearly very knowledgeable about graphic design and she has a lot of experience working in the field. I'm learning a lot in her class about type history, current industry standards, and the most practical ways to approach designing with type.
UMBC has made me a much more well-rounded student than I ever expected! I'm a Graphic Design major, and the interdisciplinary class options have allowed me to explore subjects outside of my major that aren't necessarily offered at exclusively arts schools.
