What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I want to help new students learn more about UMD's engineering program.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering Students?
Don't try to rush through everything, work hard but make sure you still have some fun!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
The Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics club is a really fun group to be a part of and is open to all majors. They do both informative events so you can learn more about aerospace and network as well!

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I really liked the icebreaker activities we did because it allowed me to meet new people and make new friends in the engineering school.
