Real People Profiles: Damani Lewis
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: Damani Lewis
Hometown: Columbia, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: I've been at UMBC since Fall 2009
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: SGA Senator and Resident Assistant for Erickson Hall
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I help and encourage students to seek worthwhile change initiatives on campus!
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I definitely enjoy talking with other students the most. Both roles involve talking to other UMBC students and seeing what's on their mind. Many times what'll happen is that you make a pretty good friend that you wouldn't have made otherwise!
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Take some time out for yourself! College can be so stressful: Exams, papers, extracurricular activities, internships, meetings, etc, it can really pile up. Take some time out of your day and do something you enjoy, whether it's playing a sport, playing a video game, or eating lunch or dinner with a best friend (something that I do far too often, some of the employees at Chick fil a on campus knows me on a first name basis).
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Chipotle and the Student Orgs Space couches. If you hang around the space there's a very good chance you've caught me taking a power nap on these very comfortable couches. As for Chipotle, yeah, it's really good.
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: If you have a free week during winter break and spring break, definitely apply for STRiVE and ASB (Alternative School Break). Both experiences are monumental and teach you a lot about yourself!
