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:

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.
