Forbes has launched a social media campaign called #MyTopCollege, which sounds like a fun opportunity for the UMBC community (e.g., OPAs, RAs, SGA reps, Honors College scholars, athletes, others) to share what makes us so distinct.
They write: "Every year Forbes ranks America’s Top Colleges based on graduation rate, student satisfaction, post-graduate success and student debt. This year we want to hear from the people who know colleges best. Students, faculty and alumni are invited to share photos, fun facts, traditions and quirks that truly happen only at their school for a chance to be featured in FORBES magazine and online as a 'Students’ Favorite Top College.'"

Here's an example offered by Forbes: "The Mesa is the place to be. SDSU is among the top 20 most diverse campuses in the country #MyTopCollege @Forbes pic.twitter.com/MNDoNoKWCj"
Please spread the word about this campaign!
Encourage other students, staff and faculty to share images and messages about UMBC and tag them with #MyTopCollege, @Forbes and @UMBC.
