Welcome home Baby Shams!! I am so excited to welcome you to the biggest and BEST dorm on campus! McGlinn is a place where long lasting friendships are built, which I cannot wait for you to experience. When I'm in McGlinn, you can find me in the 2-4 or in the 2B section lounge talking to anyone who talks back, planning some sort of dorm/section event or with my headphones on, locking in. Outside the dorm, you can find me almost anywhere either doing chemistry, in my research lab, or giving tours as a University Tour Guide! If you have any questions at all, or want to chat about Welcome Weekend or life, please reach out!! Roll 'Rocks!

Hi Shamrocks! I'm so excited to welcome you to the best dorm on campus and your new home! McGlinn has an amazing community and I know you will thrive and love it here.

When I'm not in the dorm, you can find me behind the welcome desk at LaFortune, working in my research lab, or in Duncan Student Center studying. Please reach out if you have any questions or just want to talk, even beyond Welcome Weekend. Can't wait to meet you all!
