Real People Profiles: Kate Meyer
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: Kate Meyer
Hometown: Baltimore, Maryland
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: Since July 2009 . . . so about ten months
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I work a lot with Student Events Board. I’m also a graduate student in the Intercultural Communication M.A. program
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love seeing how creative the SEB members are when they come up with event ideas. I am also really enjoying my classes and my classmates; half of my classmates are international students, so just sitting around a table and talking with them is an educational experience for me.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I’m still in college – hence, still learning! I do have one bit of advice that comes to mind, however. When I was an undergrad, I had a lot of really studious friends. We were pretty much always stressed out about school, life, you name it. And somehow our stress levels would become an unspoken contest – Who is More Stressed than Who? If you said, “Oh my god, I have two tests this week”, someone would immediately respond by saying, “Yeah, well I have two tests this week AND two papers due”, and then someone else would tell you that they have the same amount of work PLUS they have grad school applications to fill out, and so on. It was almost as if being completely stressed out and busy gave someone status; it made you feel superior to other, less-stressed out people. That, of course, is completely ridiculous. The goal should be too NOT be overscheduled and stressed out. If one of your friends is feeling stressed, just listen to them; don’t act like you have to match them or outdo them. Learning how to just listen to people is such an important skill.
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: Baltimore City. A lot of people think they know Baltimore because they’ve been to the Inner Harbor or because they watch The Wire, but these people should take some time to explore the city some more. I’m also a big fan of traveling to other countries, something I wish I did a lot more of! (Maybe after graduation…).
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: If you have ever attended an SEB event and filled out an audience survey, please know that someone did read it – me! I read all the audience surveys and I do take everyone’s ideas seriously. I’m really interested in what the students think of our events, and any suggestions / criticisms are definitely welcome.

Taste of Catonsville!
Sana’s Guide to The Taste of Catonsville (held April 19):
· Don’t eat anything 2-3 hours before the event-You will hate yourself you do
· Go with a trusted foodie buddy to carry your camera or extra plates.
· Start at the outer most part of the room and work your way in
· PACE yourself ( enough said)
· It is ok to say no! – You don’t have to eat everything that is offered
· It is also alright to go back for seconds on your favorite items
· It is alright to toss away things that you did not enjoy- just make sure you do it far away from the restaurant table
· Bring a purse. To stash menus and business cards,
· There is nothing better than pound cake from: Atwater’s Naturally Leavened Bread Paired with some Trickling Spring Creamery
· Alternate between dessert and non-dessert items-it seriously tastes GOOD!
· Make sure you take water breaks!
· Feel free to take items home. Especially if they are adorable flowers from Edible Arrangements
Taste of Catonsville 2010 was hosted at the beautiful Rolling Road Country Club
We started off with Lucy’s Paradise Café
We then made our way to The Rumor Mill for some Shrimp bites on a bed of tomato and goat cheese.
El Nayar Mexican Restaurant had set up a lovely Quesadillas bar! It was defiantly a fiesta in my mouth!
The House of Audre- I love Indian food so I had to sample a Vegetable Samosa for sure! It was flaky on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Perfection!
The Rolling Road Country Club had a lovely display as well.
My favorite part? Ice cream bar from You Scream Ice Cream
I sampled the Butter Pecan Ice cream with fresh roasted pecans!
The theme of Catonsville is seafood for sure- I sampled everything from crab dip to lobster ravioli. So if you are in the mood for seafood Catonsville is your place to be!
Thank You Taste of Catonsville for a fabulous evening!
