Real People Profiles: Tony Spada We're asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses. 
Name: Tony Spada
Hometown: Glasco, New York

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: This is my Senior Year

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: In addition to being a varsity lacrosse player, I serve as the Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) secratary, and I am a student representative on the Athletic Policy Committee.

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus? 

A: I serve as a liason between student athletes, students, and faculty.

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A: I enjoy being able to actively participate in creating policies that are fair and will benefit my fellow student athletes through the Athletic Policy Committee. My role here is unique as I am the only student on the panel. Through my roles in SAAC, I enjoy organizing events that help better the community and relationships between athletes and non-athletes. I feel there is a gap in social interaction between these two groups on campus and if changed will benefit the social life at UMBC.

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A: Being at UMBC/college has helped me become more well rounded. Initially, I came to UMBC more athletic minded. However, after being in such an innovative environment I saw the importance in academics and being involved in organizations. As a result I challenged myself in the classroom and have enjoyed being on the Dean's List several times. Also, becoming actively involved in organizations on campus I have learned more about working with others and the effect I can have on my community. This is a mindset I will continue into my post college years.

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Hard Work.

Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: On the ground floor of the Administration Building there is The Coffee Shop. In my opinion this is the best place on campus to get breakfast or lunch. I have eaten there at least once per day the last four years. Not only is the food great, but they really have a great staff of employees, who I know on a first name basis. There is a deli back home where I have the same experience. Eating there everyday gives me a sense of community, the same way I feel in my hometown. I recommend roast beef on 12-grain toast.

  • Such an amazing group of people in such a close proximity couldn't have been legal. STRiVE 2012 --> Spectacular 
  • Had such a good time at Strive! Thankful for the people that I got to meet and just so happy that we became a community in just 5 days..Strive 2012 ♥ 
  • Just got back from STRiVE! I would be lying if I said it wasn't one of the most profound experiences of my life 
  • Strive was amazing... flat. 
  • knows when #STRiVE2012 is banging when everyone is friending and tweeting after one of the BEST experience ever from complete strangers to having everyone to lean on. This is only the beginning everyone. 
  • I LOVED STRiVE! Kept me busy, but it was worth it. 
  • Had an excellent time at STRIVE, made memories that will last forever 
  • Just got back today from an amazing week with 59 of my fellow UMBC students and staff members...now I can't wait to start getting more involved on campus and seeing some of the awesome ideas everyone came up with coming to fruition. Thanks to everyone for making it so great! 
  • STRiVE 2012 was an incredible experience. Words cannot describe what had taken place and what was taken from those 5 days. Meeting new people, strengthening friendship bonds with old acquaintances, learning more about oneself and others, shedding tears and just plain old having fun. 
  • This week was indescribable. I am changed, and absolutely for the better. 
  • I now understand what everyone meant when they told me that STRiVE would be a life-changing experience. It was a sleep-deprived, introspective, crazy, wonderful experience and I can't believe that it's over. Thank you fellow STRiVErs for being a part of it, you are all truly inspiring and beautiful human beings♥

The University System of Maryland encompasses 12 institutions including UMBC and two regional higher education centers. It employs more than 14,000 faculty members and owns more than 1,000 buildings. Its annual operating budget is more than $4.5 billion. There are more than 180,000 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. Three times in the past ten 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.  The student selected will serve from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

The application deadline is Monday, November 5th 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.
