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

  • Alum Zach Nibbelink looks at the camera while sitting in an Apache helicopter cockpit.
    "Taking a wide range of courses outside of my major made me more well-versed in topics that I may not otherwise have been exposed to. My Political Science degree gave me base-level knowledge of foreign affairs and political climates throughout the world."
  • 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.”
  • Alumna Lauren Avery '14 throwing the first pitch at an Orioles game.
    “My focus has been on bringing brands right to consumers in large, fun, impactful, and unapologetic ways."
