Student Position on Md. Higher Ed Commission

The Maryland Higher Education Commission is the state's coordinating and planning board for higher education. 12 gubernatorial appointees, including one university student, participate in approving new academic programs, establishing budget guidelines, administering state financial aid programs and much more. A year ago, the high-profile Student Commissioner position was held by a UMBC graduate student, Alexia Van Orden. A few years before that, the position was held by UMBC undergraduate Josh Michael.  Could you be next? Send me an email at dhoffman@umbc.edu and I'll forward you background information and the application form. The application is due May 14th. Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply.
