BALTIMORE, Md., May 1 -- The University of Baltimore issued the following news release:

Where community meets opportunity

Bria Howard knew what she wanted to study when she got to college, she just didn't know where she would go.

Visiting The University of Baltimore's campus removed any lingering uncertainty.

"I went to the open house with my grandma, and I told her literally the second we got on campus, 'I think this is going to be the place for me,'" Howard said.

That was before she sat in her favorite classes. That was before she found her community in friendships, clubs and the veterans center. That was before she landed her dream internship. Every day at UBalt has been a reminder for Bria that she made the right choice.
