Real People Profiles: Alison Rohrbach
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: Alison Rohrbach
Hometown: Towson, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 5 years.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Assistant Director of University Health Services.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I educate the campus on health and wellness issues.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I am so proud of the work done by the UHS Peer Health Advocates. These students are some of the most amazing people I have ever worked with, and I could never thank them enough for all of their hard work and contributions. I also really enjoy the connections and friendships I have made with staff members at UMBC. From day one of working here, I have felt welcomed by so many people.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most important thing I learned in college, that has been reinforced during my time at UMBC is to embrace the diversity that is around you. Growing up in a small town, I was not exposed to a lot of diversity. After going away to college, I met so many people from different cultures, religions, etc. Being at UMBC has made this experience even greater for me. I feel very fortunate to work somewhere that has so much diversity.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Being a mom! I have an 18 month old son name Cole who keeps me on my toes and cracks me up every day! I just love being his mom.
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: When I came in for my interview in 2005, I had to do a health education presentation for UHS staff. I brought my presentation on a floppy disk! They had to call a staff person to convert it on their computer since no computers had floppy drives anymore. I cannot believe they still hired me! Hey, I have never claimed that technology was my strong point!

Part-Time Jobs - What Are You Worth?
The Career Services Center surveys UMBC students each semester to learn more about the part-time jobs students work while in school. Last spring, the average on-campus job hourly wage was $9.55, while the average hourly rate for off-campus jobs was $10.85. Of the students who responded, the average worked between 15-17 hours per week. We'll be sending out this survey again this semester; keep your eyes peeled later this month and share your part-time work experience!

Real People Profiles Mashup
The Real People Profile published yesterday (Faryal Khalid's, featuring the best Real People Profile photo to date) was the 60th to appear on this blog, and in honor of that milestone (or, really, just because I feel like it), I'm going to try something a little different with this post.
Microsoft Word has a feature called "Autosummarize," which assigns a score to each sentence in a document (based on whether it contains words used frequently in the document), then uses the scores to produce a summary. In my experience these "Autosummaries" are actually terrible summaries, but sometimes can produce interesting, almost poetic sequences of ideas.
So I've taken the 60 Real People Profiles published to date, cut and pasted each person's answer to the question 'What's the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?' into a single Microsoft Word document, and "Autosummarized'" it. Here is the result: 4,000 words boiled down to 400 representing, in an odd and very unscientific way, the collected wisdom of the UMBC community.
----
I’ve learned not to postpone getting involved or devoting time to that which I find meaningful – as life will never get less busy and the time to act is generally now. I've learned the important skill of being able to listen to, appreciate, and grow from other people's lives.
College is a place where you make life-long friends. College is a time for all of us to learn and grow, and every new thing I've tried has helped me grow as a person. Throughout my time in college, I took service-learning classes that challenged me to take the theory from our texts and apply it to what I was learning through my service. Now, life has come full circle and I am helping to facilitate these service experiences for students here on this campus.
I also learned the importance of friendship by surrounding myself with an insanely talented and beautiful group of people. Time management. Because I am very involved in student life, I have had to learn how to balance my extracurricular activities along with my academics.
College isn't all about studying; it's about learning, learning that takes place both inside and outside of class. During my time at UMBC, I've learned a lot about myself. How to manage time. UMBC, being a relatively smaller institution to say, College Park, it is really easy to get involved in student organizations. There are also many job opportunities available for students, which leads to a very busy nonacademic life here. I’m still in college – hence, still learning! We were pretty much always stressed out about school, life, you name it.
College was an amazing experience for me. By getting involved as an RA, in serving learning projects and volunteering, event planning, church, etc I made life long friends, learned skills that have supplemented that put into practice what I was learning in my sociology and politics classes and broadened by understanding of the city and indeed the world.
UMBC is an incredible place. I have learned from students wherever I have worked, but UMBC students, whether in Res Life or SGA, SEB, RSA, or Service Learning, they have inspired me the most. Hard work and determination.
As for the patience aspect…time for a real-life experience story. The most memorable thing I've learned at UMBC so far is that staff are truly passionate about serving and supporting our students.

Real People Profiles: Faryal Khalid
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.
Hometown: Laurel, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my third year at UMBC.
Q:What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I am a Leadership Consultant, Secretary of the Commuter Student Association and an SGA Sustainability Intern. I am also on the Art Staff of Bartleby and do some design work for different student organizations. I enjoy all these so very much.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Encourage student leadership and school spirit through creative design work.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I enjoy running around campus (*laughs*). I keep myself quite busy and I love it that way. People who say there isn't much to do on this campus, just need to look around. There is something for everyone and that is what I enjoy most about my roles. Through my involvement in different student organizations I can meet many different people and its amazing how much I learn everyday from the variety of experiences and talents, they bring to the table.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: One thing I learnt at UMBC is that it is great to be different. The campus is ever so open to change and uniqueness. There is no wrong way, just a different way and if you follow your passion you can't really go wrong. It was this lesson that encouraged me to change my major to Graphic Design, even though I come from a predominantly science background and I have never been happier. UMBC gave me a chance to follow my passion.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Photography. There is something so gratifying about capturing beautiful memories, embarrassing moments and taking a piece of someones story with you. One of my greatest pleasures is to bug people with my camera!
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: I have numerous favorite spots on this campus. I love the first floor of the Fine Arts building. Even though I have all my classes there and I shouldn't like it so much but the simple white walls and the warm lights help me relax and clear my mind of everything, so I can focus on the task at hand. Another great spot is the lake near the Research Park. There is a lot of quiet and peace in that area, and you get to go through the tunnel where a lot of UMBC students, over the years have left parts of their stories. Its a definite spot to check out!
