    “To say that Carroll County is privileged to have her is an understatement. If what she wanted was academic acclaim, there’s no question in my mind that she could have been successful at Hopkins, Yale or Harvard. But she saw a need, a very real need, and is very committed to our community.” Andrea Kirby Ormiston ’99, Dr. Ruby's best friend since 2nd grade

    If you have the opportunity, travel. Travel as much as you can. Save up and take Jan Term courses. You will be so glad you did.

    “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.”
