Student Spotlight

Aarion Romany University of Maryland, Baltimore What skill have you learned in your studies that you find useful in other aspects of your life? I would say time management. Learning to balance research, teaching, extracurricular activities, and self-care is a very difficult skill, one that I am still improving on today. Even within research, knowing which projects to prioritize is something that I learned over time.
