"Being a freshman at the University at Albany can be an overwhelming experience! Arriving to find such a large and diverse campus, I was eager to find my place among my peers. Becoming a part of Middle Earth allowed me the opportunity to serve others on campus and make a positive impact on the community. This year, I'm excited to serve as President of an organization that takes pride in making the University at Albany a better place to live and learn." ~ Carolyn Ortiz '07
