Real People Profiles: Brandon Cottom
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.
Hometown: Montgomery Village, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 3 years.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I make events happen with SEB, and am vice president of SEA.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: The part of my role here I enjoy most is being able to improve my home (UMBC) by changing our gym into a huge party three times or more a year with Comedy, Concerts and Quadmania. Also by building the trashmonster with trash from around campus.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Here at college I learned you have to make all of your decisions for yourself. no one is here to tell you what is best for you or how to go about doing it. Which at times can be frustrating but its the kind of thing that really makes you grow.
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: Quadmania.
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: While working as an OPA (Orientation Peer Advisor) I heard from an old student that Erickson field didn't used to have that steep hills it has on three sides, but they were dug out to make way for some project that never went through. Also through the Goddard Earth Sciences Technology center I was able to take advantage of UMBC being second in the nation in funding from NASA.

Campaign Internships in Baltimore County
Baltimore County, MD is more populous than four states and the District of Columbia. With over 700,000 residents as of the last census, it's larger than any Congressional District. A top tier countywide campaign is now accepting resumes for Spring and Summer internships. Ideal candidates are high-energy, excellent oral communicators, good listeners and have access to
their own transportation.
Spring Interns (volunteer) can expect to receive a comprehensive education in all substantive areas of campaign work: Field, Fundraising, Communications and Advance and their relationship to one another in building a campaign organization.
Summer internships, in addition to these rotations, also include a Specialized Field internship. 10 weeks of intensive organizing and training. Interns can expect to finish this program with enough experience to work as a field organizer in any Congressional race in the United States.
Please direct all resumes and cover letters to jonnyakchin@gmail.com with
SPRING INTERNSHIP and SUMMER INTERNSHIP in the subject lines.

Real People Profiles: Meron Tesfaye
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.
NOTE: This profile, of undergraduate Meron Tesfaye, is especially timely. Meron played a leading role in envisioning and producing this semester's Involvement Fest, which just concluded its successful three-day run on Main Street. If you enjoyed some snacks or entertainment, joined a student organization or just connected with old friends at Involvement Fest, Meron deserves your thanks. Nice work!
Name: Meron Tesfaye
Hometown: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: One year, five months.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I learn and grow to share my experience with others.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I really enjoy the learning part. It's just really exciting when you learn something new or when you see something in a different light and you wonder if everyone sees it and that feeling that makes you wanna tell everyone about it and change the world is really amazing.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: To try new things, to never forget how amazing you are and how amazing others can be.
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: People who write comics and screen writers of animation and cartoon movies (some how I always wonder how they have such a wonderful imagination?) and people who hike really high places (coz it really scares me).
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:
- The Women Center : Something about it makes me feel like I'm at home .......and the naps I take there even if it is for 20 minutes between classes feel like heaven :)
- The pond by admissions office: Go there during summer around 7 or 8 pm ..... and just sit or lie on the side of the pond(make sure you don't fall though ...lol)....then tell me how it feels.
- The loop: sometimes I just get really tired, or annoyed and I just want to step out ..but can't go far because I have classes the next morning and I would just walk or run the loop when it's not too hot......somehow it revives me.
- The stadium: ....no one ever hangs out there....I don't know why.
- For such a small campus it's amazing how much UMBC has to offer and the cool thing is that there is always room for change - and more opportunities. I luv that about UMBC.
