"Sometimes help, guidance and encouragement can come from the most unexpected places."
What did you learn at UMass Dartmouth that has made a difference for you?
Sometimes help, guidance and encouragement can come from the most unexpected places. UMass Dartmouth is a big school and getting to know as many people as you can could prove to be very rewarding.
What makes UMass Dartmouth special?
The faculty and all the people who make things happen on campus. Many work late hours and work hard for the students, and those are the people that make this campus special.
What is your message for future students?
Students will hear "get involved" a lot during their college career, but it's the best way to get the most out of your experience at UMD. The friendships you will form and the experiences you will gain by getting involved don't compare to anything else.
Who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank the Pathways Program for giving me the opportunity to come here. I'd also like to thank the orientation program for the opportunity to sharpen my leadership skills and the Academic Resource Center.
