What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I wanted to share my experiences with incoming engineering students to help them ease into the new environment and give them a good introduction to the Clark school.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering Students?
There are a plethora of resources available to you and people to help you out always!

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Terrapin Works is definitely an organization to check out. There are so many clubs that are engineering-focused but also other hobby-focused. They key is to find a good balance in the extracurricular activities you take part in.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
Being introduced to other peers who I then saw in my classes the following semester and became friends with.
