Name: Timothy Henderson Major: Computer Engineering Involvement: Undergraduate Teaching Fellow, DCC Honors Program, Internship at Texas Instruments Why did you become a peer mentor? I became a peer mentor because I really like helping younger students succeed. I believe everyone has the ability to do well in the ECE program if they have the right resources. I want to be one of those resources for my mentees. |

Name: June Xu Major: Computer Engineering Involvement: Aside from being a part of TIPMF, I am also an undergraduate teaching fellow for ENEE101, the introductory lab for ECE majors. I was also in the Design, Cultures and Creativity two-year Honors Program, and have held multiple research internships on campus. As of Summer 2019, I am a Software Engineering Intern at Textron Systems. Why did you become a peer mentor? I was a mentee in my freshman year of college, and was paired with an amazing mentor who went above and beyond to show me all the resources I had access to, both as a UMD student and as an ECE student. I was inspired to do the same for another incoming student and make their transition from high school to college easier, so I became a mentor the following year! |

Name: Minya Rancic Major: Computer Engineering and Math Involvement: I am an Undergraduate TA for CMSC330: Organization of Programming Languages. I am currently interning at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, where I'm part of the Mission Planning group for the NISAR satellite Why did you become a peer mentor? I became a peer mentor in order to help guide ECE students through their first year in the program. As a freshman, I really struggled with navigating things like the opportunities UMD offers to engineering students and recruiting for internships, so I wanted to help future generations of students through this process. |
