In my mind, four things distinguish UMBC from any other campus under the sun: our diversity; our trailblazing spirit of discovery and entrepreneurship; our confidence and pride in students' genius and creativity; and a collaborative spirit which empowers all of us as contributors to our campus community. I love this place largely because of the ways we work together to give life to those four themes.
SGA's Prove It! competition is a phenomenal example of how the themes converge. SGA is putting up $36,000 so undergraduate students can make their mark on UMBC and enhance campus life. Students have until December 31st to submit a proposal: a specific idea about how to make UMBC even better, and a plan for making it happen. The best and most feasible plans will be put to a vote of the student body next spring. The top three vote recipients will win implementation grants of up to $10,000 apiece and cash prizes of $2,000 apiece. Will the winners be new campus events? Services? Physical alterations of campus space? Ongoing creative projects? Maybe all of the above? Your submissions and your votes will determine the answers. SGA is working closely with campus officials to ensure that the winning plans will be put into action.
Find out more about Prove It! here. And plan to attend the Prove It! information session on Wednesday, November 16th at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4.
