The University System of Maryland encompasses 11 universities, a research institute and two regional higher education centers. It employs more than 13,000 faculty members and owns more than 1,000 buildings. Its annual operating budget is $4.2 billion. There are more than 148,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at its various institutions. But only one of them gets to participate directly in the decisions of the Board of Regents, the system's governing body. Twice in the past eight years, that one student--the Student Regent--has come from UMBC. Could you be next?

Please take a look at this description of the Student Regent position and application, and consider applying. Please also pass the information along to friends who may be interested. (If you have trouble opening the documents mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph, try going here instead). The student selected will serve from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.

The application deadline is Wednesday, November 10th at 5:00 P.M. Submit completed applications in hard copy to my mailbox in the Office of Student Life, Commons 336, and also email the application form and essays to me at dhoffman@umbc.edu. I'm very happy to answer questions about the position and the process, so don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to know more.
