Students and faculty said in January they are expecting big changes now that President Donald Trump has returned to office.

Trump has announced numerous efforts, including tariffs—a high tax on imported goods—that he plans to put into place during his second term in office.

“As soon as tariffs go into effect, everything is going to get super expensive,” Ev Dahl, a third-year transfer studies student, said.

Dahl objected to Trump’s promise to stop public schools and federal employers from paying for gender-affirming care for trans students and employees.

“As a non-binary person, it’s scary,” Dahl said.

Ismael Tamayo Sanchez, a first-year electrician student, is worried that Trump might shut down the U.S. Department of Education.

“My mother … works for Anne Arundel County Public Schools, so I don’t know whether her job will be cut because she’s a janitor,” Tamayo Sanchez said.

One AACC employee said the president’s “history with women could set a bad precendent for sexual violence survivors, knowing that you can become president of the United States even if you’ve assaulted women,” Katie Keys, AACC’s project director for sexual violence prevention, said.

Others, like Adara Metz, a first-year nursing student, said they are looking forward to some of Trump’s changes.

“Funding [in-vitro fertilization] and stuff, it is a big testament in his appreciation for the family unit and [his] appreciation for women,” Metz said.

Others on campus said the president’s policies will show immediate results.

“We’re going to see an economic change,” Andrea Cruz, a first-year nursing student, said. “Hopefully … it’s going to be more affordable for everyone.”
