What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
When I transferred into UMD, ClarkLEAD showed me all the opportunities to find support, success, and community in the Engineering department. I want to help and inspire new Maryland Engineers find the same level of support that I found during my ClarkLEAD.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering Students?
Join as many clubs and communities, and go to them in the beginning of the semester. There will be so many people that you’ll meet and form connections with. Maybe you’ll end up continuing to hang out with them!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
