I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.

Name: Mickey Arora

Hometown: MoCo, MD

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: 3 years

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: Health Education Coordinator at UHS.

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?

A: I help to promote health & wellness across the UMBC campus.

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A: Interacting with different students at programs and events. Also, supervising the Peer Health Educators - they are some of the best students I have ever known and keep me motivated at work.

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A: The biggest thing I remember about my undergrad career was how involved I was. I was involved with over four different student orgs, was a Peer Educator, and also interned on campus... and I loved it! I would never have been able to meet the people I met, or know the things I know now without those experiences. I hope that all college students get the chance to become involved on their campuses, no matter how big or small; and at UMBC, I've learned that the possibilities for students, staff and faculty to get involved are endless!

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: frozen yogurt! :)

Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: My mom always told me I should try to date someone "on my level" like at work or school, and I constantly told her I would NEVER be able to meet anyone like that at work... but after two years of knowing each other, I started dating another staff member at UMBC and it's been great! Moms apparently always know best. :)
