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

  • Kylah + Candles
    "I’ve always had such a great love for my culture and people, so I thought ‘what if I could find a way to combine these two interests together and create my own business?’” she says. “I’ve always known I wanted to create something that celebrated Black culture, but the idea to do this with candles was something that was relatively new to me."

    "I ended up majoring in Physics at McDaniel because I was interested in how things worked, how the universe works, and I thought it would be helpful for my future in engineering.”
  • Mary Lynn Durham and Bill Roj
    “Here at McDaniel, imaginative learning opportunities, spanning everything from the arts and letters – to our innovation and entrepreneurship programs, have broadened and inspired you. And this year, McDaniel leadership and faculty, who brilliantly reimagined living and learning on the Hill, became their own shining example. Throughout your pursuits of the liberal arts and sciences, you have discovered imagination at work.”
