Meet McDaniel: Profiles from the Hill

Ask anyone their favorite things about McDaniel, and somewhere in a long list they’ll say, “Community.” McDaniel is defined by the scholars, mentors, and alumni who discovered a home on the Hill, so it only makes sense to meet them. Hear from graduating seniors, alumni, and faculty about how they found their place in academics, campus life, and more at McDaniel.

We are McDaniel: Class of 2026

McDaniel’s Class of 2026 is compassionate, bold, and ambitious. Through their time on the Hill, they’ve grown into confident leaders who craft their own opportunities while simultaneously guiding their peers.

Our 2026 senior profiles represent 20 undergraduate programs along with many student organizations and clubs, athletic teams, involvement opportunities, and types of experiential learning.

We’re proud to call them alumni and prouder still to share a selection of their stories here — told as only they can tell them, in their own words.

    “Most people don’t listen. They want to talk. But when you walk into a business meeting, the answer is already in the room. You just need to listen for it and reflect it back.”
  • Mike Bucci '15
    “I felt like I didn’t have just one faculty mentor – I felt like I had an entire department of faculty mentors. That doesn’t end in the classroom but extends to guiding you through your academic career and figuring out what your post-academic career might look like.”

    “McDaniel was a small glimpse of life after college, specifically within politics, as a Black female. While I was in the minority demographically, I never felt forced to be anything other than who I was.”
