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

  • McDaniel College alumna Danielle Rowlett Tate '03
    “I learned about mental toughness and that with enough tenacity — and a book — I can figure out anything.”
  • 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.”
  • Ellen Larsen '10 in front of a bonfire
    “The point of a liberal arts curriculum is to expose you to new opportunities, open you up to different viewpoints, and explore different ways of thinking. This has helped me become an effective, inclusive leader who focuses on building community in the workplace.”
