Real People Profiles: Tony Spada We're 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: Tony Spada

Hometown: Glasco, New York

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: This is my Senior Year

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

A: In addition to being a varsity lacrosse player, I serve as the Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) secratary, and I am a student representative on the Athletic Policy Committee.

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?

A: I serve as a liason between student athletes, students, and faculty.

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

A: I enjoy being able to actively participate in creating policies that are fair and will benefit my fellow student athletes through the Athletic Policy Committee. My role here is unique as I am the only student on the panel. Through my roles in SAAC, I enjoy organizing events that help better the community and relationships between athletes and non-athletes. I feel there is a gap in social interaction between these two groups on campus and if changed will benefit the social life at UMBC.

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

A: Being at UMBC/college has helped me become more well rounded. Initially, I came to UMBC more athletic minded. However, after being in such an innovative environment I saw the importance in academics and being involved in organizations. As a result I challenged myself in the classroom and have enjoyed being on the Dean's List several times. Also, becoming actively involved in organizations on campus I have learned more about working with others and the effect I can have on my community. This is a mindset I will continue into my post college years.

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Hard Work.

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: On the ground floor of the Administration Building there is The Coffee Shop. In my opinion this is the best place on campus to get breakfast or lunch. I have eaten there at least once per day the last four years. Not only is the food great, but they really have a great staff of employees, who I know on a first name basis. There is a deli back home where I have the same experience. Eating there everyday gives me a sense of community, the same way I feel in my hometown. I recommend roast beef on 12-grain toast.
