Rhode Alcindor
Hey! My name is Rhode Alcindor and I am a senior from Lynn, Mass., majoring in biomedical engineering. As a student of color, it was important for me to find a community that embraced me for who I am and encouraged me to grow and identify with my culture. That’s why I joined the admissions team as a Diversity Fellow to help foster that environment and support underrepresented students like myself to make UMass Amherst feel like home. On campus, I am a kompa dancer for the Haitian-American Student Association (HASA) and a Bible study leader for UMass Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I am also a member of the Black Student Union (BSU), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the STEM Ambassadors Program. In my free time, I love to dance, run, play video games on my PlayStation, and watch anime!
