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.
