What makes UMBC home?
The people on campus! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, you are sure to feel right at home when talking to fellow students!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Professor Marcela Mellinger. She is my favorite professor as she pushed me to work harder than any other teacher has. I produced my best work in her class due to her amazing teaching and encouragement. If you ever have the opportunity too take her for SOWK 360 please do!
