UMBC Nominee Meghan Carpenter is Student Regent Finalist

by David Hoffman

UMBC junior Meghan Carpenter passed another big test in the Student Regent selection process this weekend,  having been selected as one of three finalists for the position from across the University System of Maryland. 

The three finalists will meet with University System of Maryland officials in the next six weeks, and their names will be submitted to Governor O'Malley. The Governor will select the Student Regent early in 2013.

The Student Regent serves as the only student member of the University System of Maryland's governing board, helping to set policies and priorities relating to academics, financial aid, facilities and budgets. Meghan is the 11th consecutive UMBC nominee to be selected as a finalist. Three of the previous ten were appointed Student Regent.

Way to go, Meghan!
