Hello, QUEST. My name is Josh Kohn and I am a senior Computer Science major in Cohort 18. I started out as a QUEST ambassador in my sophomore year, but I am so glad I was able to join the Recruiting team last year. One of the things I enjoy the most about the Recruiting team is our creativity. Whether it’s creating interesting activities for the QUEST interviews or painting Cornhole boards for Maryland Day, we have a lot of fun thinking of new ways to enhance our recruiting process. I was really excited about how well the QUEST Oscars / Superlatives went and I can’t wait to see how it turns out this year. My primary goal for the Recruiting team for this year is to get QUEST ambassadors at Maryland prospective student events in addition to our Open Houses for current students. I know one of the reasons I chose Maryland is that a recruiter told me about the program and I couldn’t find another program like it. While we do a good job of getting our name out to current students, I believe this is an area of untapped potential to get more great applicants to the program. Be on the lookout for news about the first QUEST Ambassadors meeting of the semester – I hope to see you all there.
