A new Board of Officers (President, Vice President, and Secretary) will be elected and activities will be planned. Students interested in running for office should prepare a very brief presentation about themselves. If you cannot attend but would like to run for an office, please email Nicole Jackson (jacksonn@umd.edu) a short blurb about yourself that will be read to the group.
