As an advisor in the College of Arts and Humanities and instructor for Dean’s ambassadors he routinely went above and beyond to help me along in academic, professional and personal pursuits.

He is appreciated among our diverse student population. He is honest and open, loves with his whole heart, cherishing his family and genuine with his friends.” – Guidance Counselor
“Darius is truly invested in supporting the holistic learning and development of every student he meets. Darius was my academic adviser and instructor throughout my four years at the University of Maryland, College Park. In our meetings and classes, he created an open and engaging environment that compelled me academically and challenged me personally. Darius goes above and beyond in his role as an adviser – he is coach, a mentor, and an excellent role model. I believe Darius is an outstanding example of what a Student Affairs professional can and should be. When I pursue my own career in higher education (a goal largely inspired by him!), I aspire to be all that he represents – an educator, advocator and supporter of students.“ UMD graduate and Student Affairs professional

Whether he is advising students or managing staff members, he listens with empathy and responds to concerns consistently – a valuable and rare asset in college student development.“ – Former Johns Hopkins University Administrator
“I met Darius during my first week at the University of Maryland, and I solely used him as my adviser throughout my college education. His advice and mentorship significantly contributed to the success I achieved in my studies and work ethic. His leadership abilities were instrumental during a key transition in my life. Similar to Darius, I wanted to be a leader in my community, which influenced my decision to attend Law School. I would strongly recommend Darius to anyone who is seeking out a leader and role model.” – UMD graduate and current lawyer
