Welcome home baby shams! I am so excited to meet you all and welcome you to the best dorm on campus. McGlinn has truly provided me with the most beautiful community, and it is such a gift to be able to walk with you all and welcome you home. From late nights chatting with strangers and friends alike in your section lounge to our amazing signature events, McGlinn will become a place you may find yourself avoiding the night before an exam because you know you will run into too many friends to be even slightly productive. In the dorm, you are likely to find me hanging out in the 3A section lounge (slounge as we affectionately call it), at hall council supporting our amazing presidents, or having a fun conversation with anyone I may remotely know.
On campus I’m a camp counselor and member of the coordinator board for Kesem Notre Dame, a part of the Notre Dame Magnificat Choir, involved with volunteering and furthering educational opportunities for youth, and a member of the McGlinn choir for our Sunday 8:30 pm mass (all are welcome to join and sing, play an instrument, or help pick some amazing music!)
I’m looking forward to seeing you all in August, and making this a super fun weekend!
Welcome home Baby Shams!! I am so excited to welcome you to the biggest and BEST dorm on campus! McGlinn is a place I have had the honor of calling home the past two years, and I am so excited to welcome you to a truly wonderful community. From late nights in the slounge to Tuesdays at Hall Council, there is something in McGlinn for everyone! In McGlinn you can find me hanging out in the 3A slounge or study nook, so come find me and say hello!
On campus, I am a chemistry lab TA, outreach chair of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Club, and biggest fan of Notre Dame football on West Quad (self-proclaimed). You can often find me in Jordan Hall of Science or Hesburgh Library with a whiteboard! I am so excited to meet you all in August and cannot wait for an amazing weekend and school year to come! Roll 'Rocks!
