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: Joey McElroy

Hometown: Catonsville, MD

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: 2 Years

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

A: Student Events Board Programmer

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

A: Event enthusiast, planner, promoter, attendee, and that commuter who never leaves campus.

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

A: It sounds cheesy, but meeting new people is the coolest part of being on SEB. Whether it is an incoming freshman or Snoop Dogg himself, I have met some of the coolest people through my involvement on campus.

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

A: My time at UMBC has taught me to take a little risk and put myself out there. All throughout grade school I was awkwardly shy, but UMBC has completely changed that. Even just a few years ago, I would have never imagined doing things like running a major event, or going on a 5 day leadership retreat.

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

A: Harry Potter… And Disney. It’s actually kind of a problem.

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 all time favorite spot on campus is the Student Orgs Space, I have easily spent more time there than I have in class. Between SEB, SGA, and other Student Orgs, there is always something going on.

GET INVOLVED- Especially if you aren’t the type of person who normally would. Getting involved is the easiest way to find your place on campus and get the most out of your time at UMBC.
