Meghan Carpenter has been selected as UMBC's nominee for Student Regent for 2013-2014. Meghan is a junior majoring in American Studies and Political Science. She is the Director of Community and Governmental Affairs for UMBC's Student Government Association, and represents UMBC students on the University System of Maryland Student Council, the Maryland Higher Education Commission's Student Advisory Council, and UMBC's Neighbor Relations Committee. Meghan also works as a research assistant for Professor Carolyn Forestiere, and as an office assistant for UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski. Meghan also blogs for USDemocrazy.net, and has authored two posts for the UMBC BreakingGround web site.
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 2013-2014, Meghan will be interviewed next weekend by the University System of Maryland Student Council, which will forward the names of three finalists for consideration by Governor O'Malley.
The past 10 UMBC nominees all have been selected as finalists, and three have been appointed Student Regent: Phil Shockley (2003-2004), Josh Michael (2008-2009) and current UMBC senior Collin Wojciechowski (2011-2012).
Good luck, Meghan!
