Every month, the National Residence Hall Honorary selects a number of individuals, events, and organizations to recognize for the outstanding contributions they make to the UMBC community. As part of this recognition, any nomination that we select for recognition as Campus Winner is sent on to a Regional Committee, part of the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, for consideration for more awards. In September of this year, members of Susquehanna Hall's student staff were selected for a number of awards by this committee. This month, we are very proud to congratulate two more members of the UMBC Residential Community for their selection as Regional Winners!
Harbor Desk Staffer Michelle Kuah was selected as the Regional Desk Attendant of the Month for her dedication to helping others outside the scope of her duties. Nominated by Harbor Hall Community Director Alison GInder, Michelle went out of her way to assist an international student find their way around campus, translating for the student and helping them find a place to live on campus. When Michelle had to leave for previous obligations, her assistance did not end; before leaving, Michelle found another student who could fill in her role as translator and guide.

NRHH President and Resident Assistant Lauren Hartsky was also honored as Regional Executive Board Member of the Month. Lauren's outstanding dedication to UMBC's chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary has served as a role model to all members of the Chapter, who have already been selected for their own outstanding leadership. Through overseeing changes to the Chapter's constitution, ensuring that all members of the chapter would have the opportunity to be recognized for their service, and managing the transition of another executive board member, Lauren's work went above and beyond all expectations. See the full nomination written by Chesapeake/Erickson Community Director and NRHH Advisor Doug Copeland at http://otms.nrhh.org/otm_general.php3?otmid=117588&vid=1eqsb2ce5vpr66qj.
NRHH congratulates both of these individuals for their outstanding service to UMBC. We wish them the best of luck as their nominations continue to the National Committee, and as they continue to be models of outstanding leaders here on campus.
