Hey everyone! My name is Chris Frye and I'm a freshman student at UMD. I'm from Glen Burnie, MD (just outside of Baltimore) and I'm currently a double major in Economics and Environmental Politics and Policy, with the hope of working in international development. After I graduate, I want to get my master's degree and go into the Peace Corps, hopefully at the same time. I also try to stay as involved as I can on campus. I'm currently the President of my Hall Council as part of RHA, and I'm also a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity on campus, where I serve as the Philanthropy Chair, among other things. I also volunteer with Circle K and will (hopefully) be an America Counts mentor next semester.
This is my first AB trip but I'm hoping to go on many more trips over the next four years. This is not my first service trip though as I've spent the past two summers volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in both rural North Carolina and Georgia.
As far as hobbies go, I'm a pretty simple guy. I'm a huge film buff and spend way too much of my free time watching them. I also enjoy running, reading, traveling, and of course, community service. Also, word of wording, I can't cook to save my life so please be patient with me when it's my turn to cook!
I am super excited to get to know all of you while giving back to the community. I am very interested in education reform and am looking forward to learning about the unique challenges facing rural education, and how the KIPP school is meeting those challenges. See you all soon!
