Congrats to UMBC’s Maryland Student Legislature Delegation!
Consider joining for next year!
Over April 30-May 1, its members joined students from other Maryland campuses at the State House in Annapolis for MSL's culminating Annual Session to debate and vote on their original legislation and conduct other legislative business.
On the basis of their number of participants, their success at passing legislation, and the spirit, professionalism, and teamwork that they brought to the Session, UMBC received the Best Delegation Award (shared with McDaniel College)!
On top of that, POLI minor Alexxus Richardson received the Maryland Student Legislature's Best Delegate award, POLI major Jacob Ridgway's Child Arrest Protection Act won the Best Act award, and POLI major Aurora Quezada was elected as the Maryland Student Legislature's 2022-23 Secretary of State. The Department of Political Science recognizes Zoe Smith for her highly effective leadership as chair of UMBC's recently re-launched delegation and is proud of all delegation members, including those who were not able to attend the Annual Session but still played important roles preparing the team all year.
MSL welcomes new members for 2022-23 and offers academic credit via POLI 341! Check out information about MSL and UMBC's delegation, and contact Delegation Chair Zoe Smith or faculty advisor Dr. Laura Antkowiak if interested.
