Caroline Tanner

She/Her
Class of Fall 2025
Major:  Fire Protection Engineering

What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I wanted to become a ClarkLEADER to give back to the school that has taught me how to become a better person and engineer. As a freshman, I would have loved to have talked to someone well into their degree who could tell me what the Clark school, classes, and life at UMD were really like. I hope serving as a ClarkLEADER will do the same for someone else. I would also like to advertise Fire Protection Engineering, because it is the best engineering major.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering Students?
Don't be afraid of change. You might not be in the same position or major, or even the same person, at the end of your degree, and that's okay.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
RecWell classes, Gamer Symphony Orchestra(GSO), and Terrapin Works
