Hi, my name is Emily Liu! I am a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Outside of classes, I am involved with multiple on-campus research for modeling trace gases, improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants, and campus storm water management. My areas of interest include water management, pollution control, renewable energy, waste management, and green infrastructure. I am happy to help you with the courses you are taking!

Hey, I am Tom, I am a freshman Chemistry major with a minor in Physics. I am in the Naval ROTC unit here on campus and look forward to my inevitable commission. My hobbies include riding my Harley Sportster, going for long runs/swims, and hanging out with my friends. I specialize in tutoring introductory level chemistry and physics.

Robert Mark Crotty ‘80 and the Crotty family are pleased to establish the Crotty Family Veteran Student Life STEM Tutoring Support Fund to extend financial assistance to veterans attending the University of Maryland. This fund, alongside the Robert B. and Dorothy L. Crotty Veterans Scholarship established in 2018, represents the family’s desire to support the University of Maryland veteran community and programs. Both have been established in recognition of the World War II and Korean War naval service of Cdr. Robert B. Crotty, USN Ret., and the World War II civilian wartime service of his wife, Dorothy L. Crotty.

The Crotty family’s aspiration is that their support of the VSL STEM Tutoring program will provide critical assistance to bridge the gap between high school and the continuation of education after military service, enabling veterans to excel in their STEM studies. By providing financial assistance for comprehensive tutoring needs such as iPads, transcription and notetaking software and additional resources, veterans can continue to stand tall and reach their post-service career aspirations.
