What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I really enjoyed the ClarkLEAD welcoming conference my freshman year and would love the opportunity to be a part of it again.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
Some clubs I've been involved with are Terps Racing, Gamera S, Leatherbacks, Vietnamese Student Association, Thai Student Association, and Japanese APO is a service fraternity for people of all majors and genders, a great way to help the community. Intermediate sports are also a lot of fun. American Student Association, Taiwanese American Student Association, Filipino Cultural Association, Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, and Cybersecurity Club. I'd recommend any of these clubs to new coming students.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
Getting to know my fellow students at my table.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Coming this far is impressive and it is important to take care of your well-being.
