Meet McDaniel: Profiles from the Hill

Ask anyone their favorite things about McDaniel, and somewhere in a long list they’ll say, “Community.” McDaniel is defined by the scholars, mentors, and alumni who discovered a home on the Hill, so it only makes sense to meet them. Hear from graduating seniors, alumni, and faculty about how they found their place in academics, campus life, and more at McDaniel.

    “McDaniel College was my training camp for real life. I was able to learn and develop the skills I needed to be successful in my dream career, even before I knew it was my dream.”
  • Jeff Groff
    “The result is that we have turned an abandoned farm with no utilities and a few run-down structures into an educational asset with a high tunnel greenhouse, an apiary or bee-yard, an orchard, raised beds, solar power systems, and an aquaponics lab where fish grown in tanks provide nutrient for hydroponically grown vegetables.”
  • McDaniel College alumna Ashley Brown '06 DDS
    "McDaniel taught me to think critically, and this helped me tremendously at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, This helped me to excel, graduating in the top 5 percent of my class."
