Real People Profiles: Jamie Adasi
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty and staff, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Jamie Adasi
Hometown: Rockville, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 3 months! J
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Graduate Coordinator for Cultural & Spiritual Diversity, Office of Student Life.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I help students develop cultural awareness that will last a lifetime!
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: Interacting with passionate, amazing and engaged students, faculty and staff who see themselves as both leaders and social change agents.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: To get involved! We are all here to learn and get degrees, but what will set us apart from others when we graduate and are applying for jobs/graduate schools? Most of the time it’s the co-curricular things that we got involved with. These can also be hands on experiences that help us shape who we want to be and what we want to do with our lives (study abroad, service/volunteerism, student group involvement, etc…).
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: FOOD! Haha I’ve always said that I’d be willing to try any food once (except for the food that I’m allergic to—shellfish and peanuts/tree nuts).
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: This is one that I’m still working on since I’m so new, but what I’d like to say is that the Mosaic Center’s doors are open to ALL students, faculty and staff. So if you just need a place to chill out during your busy day, stop by and vent, or meet up with others, stop on by and someone will be here to help you! J
