Student spotlight: Christian Bell

Meet Christian Bell, a senior in the Department of Applied Human Sciences.

Christian is majoring in Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences and minoring in Coaching.

What do you like most about your major/minor program(s)? 

Something that I have really valued with the exercise science program and coaching prgram is how well they work in tandem. Both of them have provided me with copious amounts of exposure to different activities and experiences that I could not experience anywhere else.  

Why did you choose UMD?

I chose UMD because it felt like a place where I could feel comfortable growing and feel supported at the same time. 

What has been your most meaningful experience at UMD so far?

My most meaningful experience here at UMD has been being able to connect with and get to know so many great people.  

What advice do you have for incoming students?

Don't wait until senior year to branch out and try new things, start that day one. 

What do you like to do in your free time?

Exercising is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. I also enjoy recording new episodes of my podcast (BS Podcast on Spotify).
