Real People Profiles: Nimit Bhatt
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty and staff, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Nimit Bhatt
Hometown: Laurel, MD
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Business Manager of the Retriever Weekly and UMBC Mama's Boys
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: My role as the Business Manager of the UMBC Mama's Boys really changed my experience at UMBC, and would have to be the most rewarding role I play here. As Business Manager, I am in contact with other a cappella groups around the mid-Atlantic, booking performances and keeping everything organized. With the stress of classes being almost non-stop, it's always great to have this group 6 hours out of the week to just let loose and unwind.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most important thing I've learned here is how to manage time. My time-management skills have soared since I arrived here. UMBC, being a relatively smaller institution to say, College Park, it is really easy to get involved in student organizations. There are also many job opportunities available for students, which leads to a very busy nonacademic life here. Not to mention, on top of all of that, you are attending an honors university. At the moment, I am a Junior Political Science major with three jobs, involvement in 4 student organizations, and taking 18 credits. I have learned how to stay organized and keep myself calm through the daily stress I handle. Definitely a life-skill to get good at, since my future holds graduate education.
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: The show '24.' Jack Bauer is my hero, idol, and role model
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: Favorite Spots on Campus:
"The Commons"
The architecture of this building is some of the most amazing I have ever seen. Especially at night, looking at it from the Quad just looks really cool. It is also covered in windows, which let in so much light during the day. Saves energy, always a plus. It is also great how it is so centralized, and pretty much everything you need is right there.
"The Library"
Nighttime, 7th floor, view of Baltimore. Need I say more? The library is an incredibly inspirational place to study.
The SGA officers elected last month to serve for 2010-2011 were sworn into office today on the Commons Terrace. Here is the oath they took:
I do solemnly affirm

Stress Free Zone: Snack and Chill
Studying for final exams: Stressful. Taking a break and hanging out with friends while munching on free snacks: Much less stressful.
On Friday, May 14th and Monday-Friday, May 17th-21st, SGA (with help from Office of Student Life staff) will host the Stress Free Zone in the Student Organizations Area on The Commons' 2nd floor. Stop by between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
If you're interested in the history of the Stress Free Zone--and you should be (this will be the 11th version of what has become a campus tradition, and there's more to the story than snacks and t-shirts)--read about it here.

Paula McCusker Wins National Youth Courage Award
Paula McCusker has been named a winner of the 2010 Colin Higgins Foundation Youth Courage Award, a national award honoring young people who have overcome significant obstacles to become "unsung heroes in the struggle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality."
Paula attended UMBC from 2007-2009, and is on leave this semester working as an intern with Equality Maryland. While at UMBC Paula served with the Freedom Alliance and SGA, and helped the Office of Student Life to develop its Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Awareness Training program. She also was an outspoken advocate on issues ranging from UMBC's decision to apply for status as an ROTC host site to the expansion of gender-neutral housing options for students. At last year's UMBC Black and Gold leadership awards she was honored as Emerging Leader of the Year.
As a winner of the Colin Higgins Foundation Youth Courage Award, Paula will receive a $10,000 prize and the opportunity to connect with national networks of activists working for social justice. Congratulations, Paula!

I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty and staff, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Jen Dress
Hometown: Port Clinton, Ohio
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: Almost 10 years.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I work with students to make programming magic!
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I get to work with amazing students and staff. I learn something new and laugh every single day!
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I guess I learned pretty quickly that my college expereince was going to be up to me!
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
A: Baseball, bbq, the beach, my beagle, and my little baby girl. I like other stuff that doesn't start with "b," but those were the first things that came to mind.
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: Wow, great question. I have a lot of fun stories to share, but one of my favorites is from 2004 when the Strokes played here, Justin Timberlake and then girlfriend Cameron Diaz were in attendance. We brought them in the back door of the RAC and they just hung out in the seats with the rest of the crowd!

SGA Election: Vote Now (+Bonus Trivia)
Vote in the undergraduate student election from now until Wednesday night at midnight. To vote, go to the
SGA election web site (where you can read about the candidates) or follow one of the links below straight into Blackboard (choose the link that corresponds with your last name).
Here's a by-the-numbers look at recent SGA elections:
602 = minimum number of votes needed to win a seat on the Finance Board in last year's election
573 = minimum number of votes needed to win a seat in the Senate in last year's election
2 = the margin of victory in last year's closest race (for Senator)
3 = the number of candidates in last year's Senate race who came within 20 votes of being elected but fell short
2,020 = largest number of votes ever received by a UMBC SGA candidate
3 = consecutive years in which a higher percentage of UMBC students have voted in their SGA election than did students at Towson and College Park in their elections
Good luck to all of this year's candidates!
