On August 29, 2010, dozens of hungry resident students crowded into the basement of Susquehanna Hall for Pancake Palooza, this year's opening community social held by the Resident Assistant staff in Susquehanna. Over the course of an hour and a half, over 150 students were served as many plain, blueberry, and chocolate chip pancakes they could stuff their faces with. Crayons and "people bingo" cards encouraged residents to meet each other and doodle while they ate their pancakes. By all reports, everyone enjoyed the program, and thought it a good start to the new school year.
This program was recently selected as the National Social Program of the Month for August 2010 by the National Residence Hall Honorary. This rare honor is the first UMBC has received since March 2008, and signifies that this social was the best held in the month of August, not just in the United States as the name may imply, but also in the countries of Canada, Mexico, Australia, Qatar, and Hong Kong.
