Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: I just want to say that if you are a UMBC student, you should attend STRiVE. Not everyone gets to go, but it is honestly the most amazing experience that UMBC offers for leadership. Last January I attended, and it has officially become my favorite UMBC experience thus far.
