What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
Coming into UMD and the engineering school, it was a new and nervous experience for me. When I attended ClarkLEAD, hearing past experiences from other ClarkLEADERS helped eased some of those worries away. I would also like to share my experiences and advice just like they did.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering Students?
Give it your all and don't be afraid to take risks.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Keystone! If you ever need extra help in your core classes definitely check out Keystone. It helped me countless times and I've met some great people there.
