Name: Rebecca Huppman
Pronouns: she/her
Title: Project Manager, Student Affairs Communications and Marketing
Years in Student Affairs/at UMBC: One year
What is something you do as part of your position that people may not be aware of?
Many folks know that a big part of my role is supporting the intake process for commonvision's design and animation projects. What folks might not know is that I also have the privilege of working closely with our student staff members on skills like project management, communication, customer service, time management, task prioritization, adaptability, and problem solving.
What is one of the most important things you've learned during your time here?
One of the most important things I've learned during my time at UMBC is the significance of a workplace environment built on intention and collaboration. When I walk into the commonvision space, I feel … good! That sounds simple, but it's huge. You can feel the energy from the students and staff, from leadership, from the space itself, and from the way folks are treated as they enter the office.
What do you like to do for fun and/or is something you are passionate about outside of work?
Living in Arbutus, I'm very lucky to be so close to many areas of Patapsco Valley State Park. I'm happiest when I'm outdoors on a hike with my family. I also enjoy writing and have been scratching that itch by collaborating with my 6-year-old on short stories, which usually include unicorns, rainbows, cats – or some wild combination of the three.
"Three Questions With ..." is a feature in DoSA Matters, the Division of Student Affairs' monthly newsletter.
