Matthew Sipper

My name is Matt Sipper, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a senior here at UMD, majoring in Bioengineering. On campus, my involvement in ResLife has been a significant part of my college journey. My experience as an RA has allowed me to meet so many diverse groups of people. In this role, I'm dedicated to supporting my residents by creating a safe and inclusive environment and providing them with the resources they need for personal, social, academic, and professional growth. Additionally, being an Office Assistant in the South Campus Commons 1 ResLife Office has enhanced my ability to support our residential communities and has helped to develop my professional skills. Furthermore, as the Secretary of the Society of Asian American Scientists and Engineers (SASE), I am committed to promoting diversity and ensuring equal opportunities in STEM fields for underrepresented communities.

Outside of these roles, I love to play the piano, sing, cook, go on hikes, fish, and spend time with my family. These activities not only offer me a chance to unwind and express my creativity but also keep me connected to what I value most. Together, they form an integral part of my identity, enriching my experience at UMD and contributing to my overall well-being and perspective.
