In the NeighborHOOD: Meet Liz Haney

I chose Hood College due to its proximity to the downtown area and DC. I believe location is very important in regards to opportunity, connections, and success. 

After I graduate from Hood College I plan on pursuing a career in the business field. Perhaps in a nonprofit sector. As a first year student my career plan is still being formed. However I do know whichever career I choose will be one that I can use to help others, and positively impact the world.

One professor who has had a positive impact on my life at Hood College is my adviser, professor. Sang Kim. He did an exemplary job on helping me plan my which classes to take, and my path for future semesters. 

My favorite class so far has been analytical methods of management with Professor Gurzick. This class has been my favorite so far, because it's my first information based computer class. Taking this class has taught me new skills that I never knew I had the capacity to master. 

In my limited time here at Hood College I have tried to take advantage of the many opportunities this campus provides. Such as becoming a member of the commuter council, SGA council, Enactus, Inner Varsity, and the vice president of the HEAT club. I also hold a work study position at the college as a student aid. I am planning on engaging more active rolls within these organizations, as well as branching out into more leadership and community roles in the upcoming fall. 

I received the legacy scholarship, and others. These scholarships have meant everything to me. The generosity of Hood college has made higher education more attainable, and I am proud to be recognized for the perseverance I have diligently invested into my academia. 

My favorite spot on campus is the athletic center. Physical health and wellness are essential. 

My favorite place in Frederick is the Frederick Municipal Forest, because there is a wide selection of high quality hiking trails.
