"A Model for Governments at Every Level to Learn From"

Harry Boyte of the Center for Democracy and Citizenship has some strong words of praise for UMBC's SGA in a blog post today.  Boyte offers reflections on last week's Civic Agency Institute in Washington, DC, a national meeting of partners working to focus American higher education on empowering citizens and building a stronger democracy.  He calls UMBC's SGA "the outstanding example" of a government that serves as a meeting ground for its constituents and a catalyst for their civic contributions, and points to SGA as "a model for governments at every level to learn from."

UMBC has been an active participant in the Civic Agency Initiative and the American Democracy Project of which it is a part, and our students have played a leading role from the beginning.  Seven UMBC students (and I) participated in last week's Institute.
