My name is Uche Anaeto, I’m majoring in biology.
I commute from Gwynn Oak which is about 15 mins from campus. I’m really excited to be a part of the OCSS team to share my creative ideas on how to bring about interactions with students who live off-campus.
]]>Hello, my name is Reina and I am a Commuter Assistant at Off-Campus Student Services.
I am currently studying Financial Economics with a minor in Mathematics. When campus is open, I commute from Howard County. I am excited to be a CA and be a part of an amazing team. I joined OCSS because I want all commuters to get the resources they need and feel involved with the UMBC community. Being a commuter is great!
