What motivated you to become a ClarkLEADER?
I wanted to help new students who were nervous about engineering and were nervous about classes.

What are some organizations or extracurricular activities you think new students should know about?
I joined Terps Racing as a club and it has been a great experience but there are a lot of great engineering clubs on campus, so I suggest you attend the club fairs and the beginning of the semester.

If you attended ClarkLEAD as a first-year student, what did you enjoy most about the event?
I enjoyed that I got to meet some new students and understood that I wasn't the only one nervous about starting.

What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
Make sure you join a club that is somewhat related to engineering to figure out what you like and to help you stay motivated.
