Melissa Seif is a senior Pre-Med Biology major an

Economics minor here at UMass Dartmouth. She

president of the Pre-Health/ Pre-Medical Society

as well as president of Model United Nations Club

Melissa believes that being active on campus is a

fulfilling an enriching experience that adds to he

background and allows her to build relationships

the community she is currently part of. If youhave something to offer then why not use

that knowledge and channel it to your and other'

benefit? Never hold back, opportunities

are everywhere and being involved means not on

seizing them but also excelling in them. Melissa

feels that UMD creates an environment of

motivation, always encouraging students to thriv

for their goal. We are not handed things on a silve

platter, we have to earn them. This is a life lesson

to be learned at a young age. UMD does a great job

at preparing us for the competition and the ups an

downs we will face as professionals later on in ou

career paths.
