GLBL major Farah Helal named USM Student Regent!

Governor Hogan announced Farah Helal's appointment to the USM Board of Regents as a student regent in February and she was formally confirmed in March. She will serve as one of two USM student regents from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, including as a voting member during her second year.

She will represent the USM student voice in meetings and committees working on issues that impact the system's twelve institutions. Key topics involve setting tuition and fee rates, approving new degree programs, and approving capital and operating budgets. 

You can read more about the areas upon which Farah plans to focus her work as student regent in this article of the UMBC News. We applaud Farah's wonderful achievement as she takes on this role, as well as the many ways she serves the UMBC community and beyond! 

Congratulations!
