Election Night Extravaganza will take place on Election Day (November 6th), where SGA will take over The Commons with programming throughout the building. Additionally, the Associate Director will organize other relevant programming before and after Election Day including expanding the Coffee &amp; Conversation series, voter registration drives, and other initiatives that promote civic engagement. Lastly, the Associate Director will be working closely with staff and administrators from the Division of Student Affairs to build on UMBC's culture of civic engagement. </div></div><div><br></div><div><em><a href="https://sga.umbc.edu/apply/#Elections" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Apply now to be Associate Director of Election Night Extravaganza</a></em></div><div><br></div></div>
