This is my first semester here at UMBC after receiving my Associate’s Degree from CCBC. Transferring from community college to a four college is a very intimidating and overwhelming process. But CWIT made my transition very easy and I am very honored to be part of the community. During the CWIT summer retreat, I felt like I was already in my first semester, because I got to know all the members of the community and learned a lot about CWIT as well as UMBC. Because of CWIT, I am involved in a lot of clubs and organizations, and participated in Cypi competition, which I highly recommend to anyone who likes to challenge themselves and work in a team. Words can’t describe how excited and honored I am to be a part of such a caring and supportive community, and I am looking forward to becoming more involved in the community as well as other campus activities.
