Real People Profiles: Stephanie Ward
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: Stephanie Ward
Hometown: Easton, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 2 years.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Mosaic Center Cultural Peer, W.I.L.L. Co-leader, SGA Student Advocate.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Encourage students to understand and appreciate their importance in the UMBC community.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I get to meet a lot of awesome people and help fellow students find their niche and passions. This is especially important to me, because many other students have helped me define my own goals. It is really fun to learn about the experiences of other students and I find that I discover new interests with every conversation I have.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I’ve learned to engage in things that I do not expect to directly contribute to my future career plans. By signing up for a student organization or activity on a whim, I have found many new things that are very important to me and they have influenced my career plans. I’ve learned the importance of being involved with my community, advocating on the behalf of my peers, and participating in activism.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Coffee. I like to think I have instantaneous and universal bonds with fellow coffee drinkers.
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 study rooms in the library are a great place to study with friends.
Don’t be afraid to change your major! I have gone from being pre-med/biology, psych, math, HAPP, art history…and many more…before I settled on Gender and Women’s studies. Hopefully, you’ll find your passion without as many steps, but do not settle if you are not absolutely happy.
