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

Name: Christopher 'skooter' Moss

Hometown: Ijamsville, MD

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: As a student, or as staff? Ha ha. I started attending UMBC when I transfered in the summer of my Junior year, Fall 2006

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

A: IT Support Specialist for The Commons.

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

A: I love the community that exists at UMBC, both faculty and students. I had the privilege of being a part of the student body prior to transitioning into my role in the Professional Staff world, and I feel as though having experienced both has given me a unique perspective in my role. The people at UMBC are what make all the difference, student and staff alike!

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

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