Once a month, we’ll profile one of the amazing Phonathon students working in UMBC’s call center. This month, say hello to student caller Michael, class of 2016. 

Michael is from Silver Spring, MD, and is working toward a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.We sat down with Michael to get to know him a little better and here’s what we learned:

Q: Why did you choose to come to UMBC?

A: I chose to come to UMBC because I was interested in the biological sciences, and heard that UMBC had strong science and research programs.

Q: What activities do you enjoy outside of class?

A: I enjoy playing sports on Erickson field and playing in the RAC.

Q: What do you like best about being a student caller?

A: The best thing I like about being a student caller is that I get to talk to alumni and hear about their experiences they had at UMBC.

Q: What are your plans after graduation?

A: If everything goes well, I plan to go to med school. If not, then I will go into a Biotechnology graduate program.

Q: What do you enjoy most about UMBC now that you are here?

A: I like the atmosphere of UMBC. Since the school is not too big it is easy to get to class. Generally speaking, most people on campus are really friendly and welcoming.
