  • Mike Southers ’04, M.S. ’13
    “My professors actually heard my ideas, and people in my class really paid attention to what I said. I realized that in high school, I’d had a lot of anxiety and I wondered why they kept the heat on all year long. I started to ease and relax at McDaniel — and then realized that was just a scared, anxious response. The heat hadn’t been on at all.”
  • Alumni Jessica Watson in front of street art in Valencia, Spain.
    “One of the cool things about a McDaniel education is that it pushes you to explore what interests you."
  • McDaniel College alumnus David Moskowitz '80
    “I believe calculated risks are important to personal and business growth.”
