Real People Profiles: Caitlin Bozman
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.
Hometown: Bowie
Major: I'm a double major in Sociology and Political Science.
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: I'm a second semester junior here at UMBC.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I have been a plaintiff attorney on the UMBC Mock Trial team for the past two years. I'm also the Marketing Coordinator at a small architecture firm in downtown Baltimore (a job I got through UMBCworks). Next year, I'm excited to live on campus for the first time since my freshman year as a Walker Avenue Resident Assistant.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I do my best to make people smile whenever I can 🙂
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love that the UMBC community is small enough that you don't feel intimidated trying to be a part of it. It's so nice to be able to run into friends frequently on campus and just spontaneously get lunch or coffee or even adventure off campus. There are so many friendly and really interesting people at UMBC! That's part of what makes it so much fun to be a student here.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I've learned that your college experience isn't determined by which college you go to but rather how involved you are. Student organizations and elective classes really are a great way to explore your interests and meet people who also share your interests. UMBC can be so much more than the place you go for your classes, but you have to be proactive in making sure that happens!
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: The Russian language!
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: Well it's not actually on campus... but if you take Hilltop Road into campus on a winter night, you can see the entire Baltimore skyline as hundreds of tiny little lights. Sometimes it's nice to see that reminder of Baltimore City since the campus location has such a suburban feel to it.
