I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.

Name: Fred Fletcher-Jackson

Hometown: Severna Park. MD

A: In my 2nd semester.

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: I don't really have any big important titles on campus just yet...but I am a member of TheaterCom and the Musical Theatre Club (currently rehearsing for Once Upon a Mattress!!!)

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A: I love that I'm able to be exactly who I am without any reason to hold back, and that I can surround myself almost 24 hours a day with people who share the same passions as me and who I can get along with so well.

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A: Let people be who they are. Accept and understand their differences. Do that, and EVERYONE has the potential to become a lifelong friend.

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: One of my favorite activities is to just go for a walk and cover as much of the campus as possible. Walking around, especially on Hilltop Circle, is not only a great way to clear your head, but you can get some of the most beautiful views of the campus that you never knew existed.

BONUS VIDEO QUESTION: What else would you like to share? Ask yourself a question and answer it.
