My Favorite Thing About Being a CMNS Peer Mentor: I get to meet and interact with so many fun people! When I came to UMD I had no clue what I was doing, and the Peer Mentors helped me figure out my 4-year plan, now I get to help give back to those who are in the same position I was in. 

Coolest thing I have been a part of as a UMD student: Being in the La Plata 9 common room with my whole ILS cohort studying for a Bioinformatics exam the next day, everyone learning together as a community.
