The National Residence Hall Honorary recognizes individuals and groups
every month through the Of The Month program. Most of this recognition takes place on the campus level, but campus winners are recommended for higher honors to a regional committee. UMBC has received a record number of accolades from this committee this year, and two more awards are added to the ever-growing list this month.
Billy D'Eugenio is a first-year student at UMBC, but has involved himself in many areas of UMBC's community. As a Theater major, Billy has involved himself in UMBC Theater productions, working as Lighting Designer and Master Electrician for GRRL Parts, as well as the Lighting Designer for UMBC Theater Club's RENT. As Billy's nomination states, while it is not uncommon for Theater majors to be so involved in productions, it is quite exceptional for a first-year student to be given so much responsibility in one month. On top of this, Billy is a member of UMBC's Pep Band. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to UMBC, Billy was selected as the Regional First Year Student of the Month for March.
March means Spring Break at UMBC, and for many that means taking time to relax and get away from classwork. Each year, the Peer Health Educators (part of the University Health Education office) hold a program to encourage safe practices during Spring Break. Historically, these programs have been poorly attended, but this year the Peer Health Educators worked with the Residential Life Office to expand the event. Third Year Resident Assistants Lauren Hartsky and Brett Reynolds, along with Resident Student Association Director of Events Preethy Prasad, worked with the Peer Health Educators to hold A Getting Lucky Luau, a "safe spring break" event with a Caribbean and St. Patrick's Day mix. With new activities and increased advertising, the Luau turned out to be the most successful program of its type held at UMBC in the last five years. This dramatic improvement earned the Luau recognition as the Regional Educational Program of the Month for March.
