McDaniel Alumni: Where are they now?

Your journey doesn't end when you leave the Hill. It starts here and stays with you for life. #GreenTerror4Life

  • Leanna Jasek-Rysdahl '16
    “My professors played an enormous, fundamental role in developing my interests. I remember receiving graded papers that were full of comments, going into office hours to discuss what research method to use, and having lunch or coffee and talking about a conference or just general questions I had about what to do after college.”  
  • “The ability to connect and find common ground with just about anyone is a skill that I honed during my time at McDaniel, and it pays dividends to this day.”
  • Abbi Wicklein-Bayne in her National Park Ranger uniform.
    “I think the parks are places where people can go to heal, to have fun, to spend time with their families, or just to get a break from the outside world.”
