Real People Profiles: Lindsey Mitchell

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: Lindsey Mitchell

Hometown: Harrisonburg, VA

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: Since July 2011

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: Coordinator of Student Events

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus? 

A: I advise the Student Events Board to help provide quality campus programming

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A:  So far I've met such an amazing group of students and staff members who have blown me away with their creativity, passion and innovation. It's been an inspiring place to work!

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A:  When I first went to college I wasn't involved at all and really didn't enjoy my college experience the first two years. I ended up transferring to another school and got a job on campus my first week there; it completely changed my perspective on what college should be. If I were to share the single most important thing that I learned from college.. it's to get involved! Your four (or five or six...) years in college can be an amazing time in your life if you intentionally complement your academic experience with other extracurricular outlets.

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A:  Road trips 🙂

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:   I'd have to say my favorite moment so far at UMBC was when I walked into my new office and there was a huge welcome banner that the SEB students made on my first day of work. What a great way to feel welcomed! I'm looking forward to meeting many of you around campus and seeing the amazing programs that SEB will put on this year.
