The Best of UMBC 2015
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
Let's help each other make UMBC ours. Think about the best activities, courses, dining options, places, student organizations, campus services, musical groups, etc. you've experienced at UMBC. "Best" is entirely a matter of opinion, of course. Now, identify up to three categories and name UMBC's "best" in each category.
David's "Best of UMBC 2015" List:
Best of UMBC 2014

David's "Best of UMBC 2015" List:
- Best Glimpse of UMBC's Future Growth: This website.
- Best Way to Spend Five Days During Winter Break: The STRiVE student leadership retreat (applications will be available in October). I always return to UMBC extremely inspired, and write about my experiences: The Power of Becoming Visible (2015), True Story (2014), Transforming the Here and Now (2013), The Last Secret of STRiVE (2012); Four Days to Synergy (2011).
- Best Quirky UMBC Feature You Probably Didn't Know About Yet: The new, circular campus welcome plaza near the Administration Building features the word "Welcome" inscribed in bricks in 80 languages, including Retriever ("Woof").
- Best Change in UMBC's Operating Hours: Keeping Starbucks in the University Center open during Summer 2015.
- Best Off-Campus Work Space: Atwater's in Catonsville (particularly the upstairs).
- Best UMBC Athletics win since I've been at UMBC: UMBC Men's Soccer's upset of College Park in the second round of last year's NCAA Men's Soccer tournament.
