Hamza Siddiqui has been selected as UMBC's nominee for Student Regent. Hamza is a sophomore majoring in Political Science and Economics. Long active in the Democratic party, Hamza has served as an intern for U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski and Howard County Councilwoman Mary Kay Sigaty, and has been a leader in student-run civic organizations such as Operation Fly and the National Youth Association of America. At UMBC he serves as an SGA Senator, was a member of last year's First Year Council and participated in STRiVE 2011.
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 2012-2013, Hamza will be interviewed next month by the University System of Maryland Student Council, which will forward the names of three finalists for consideration by the Governor. Early next year Governor O'Malley will make the final choice.
UMBC nominees have had great success in recent years. The past 9 nominees all have been selected as finalists, and three have been appointed Student Regent: Phil Shockley (2003-2004), Josh Michael (2008-2009) and the current Student Regent, UMBC junior Collin Wojciechowski.
Congratulations, Hamza, and best wishes for the rest of the selection process!
