Class of 2025Jasmine FPE UG

Hometown: Chesapeake Beach, MD
High School: Northern High School

What is your favorite thing about FPE?
My favorite thing about Fire Protection Engineering is the core belief about the safety of people and our environment. 

Why did you choose FPE over other STEM majors?
The program's uniqueness, tight-knit community plus the fact that there is a strong connection to alumni from the dept why I chose this major instead of any others offered at UMD.

How else are you involved in the campus, either in or outside the Department?
Outside of the department, I am also in the honors program DCC and am currently working on my Capstone Project for the end of the year. 

When you’re not in class, or serving the Department, where can you be found?
I enjoy studying outside if the weather is nice enough, the picnic benches outside of Hornbake, as well as the Prince Frederick Lawn and Mckeldin Mall are great places to unwind and study. 

What is the best thing about UMD?
UMD has so many smaller communities to be a part of in such a large school, so that you never feel overwhelmed. 

Any last words for prospective students? 
Hope you consider Fire Protection Engineering as a major!
