Inte'a DeShields has been selected as UMBC's nominee for Student Regent for 2014-2015. Inte'a is a doctoral student in UMBC's Language, Literacy and Culture program. She serves as a graduate research assistant and a Graduate Student Association Senator. Previously Inte'a was Director of Forensics at Morgan State University.

The Student Regent is the sole student member of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, which governs a state public higher education system that includes the UMBC, the University of Maryland College Park, Towson University and 9 other institutions, along with two regional higher education centers. As UMBC's nominee for the position for 2014-2015, Inte'a will be interviewed early in December by the University System of Maryland Student Council, which will forward the names of three finalists for consideration by Governor O'Malley.

The past 11 UMBC nominees all have been selected as finalists, and three have been appointed Student Regent: Phil Shockley (2003-2004), Josh Michael (2008-2009) and Collin Wojciechowski (2011-2012).

Best wishes, Inte'a!
