| The University System of Maryland
Student Council is oneof four councils established during the
restructuring of higher education in Maryland in 1988 to provide
advice to the Chancellor and the Board of Regents.
The USMSC provides a vehicle to ensure that the System leadership
is aware of student perspectives and responsive to student concerns
and issues. Each degree-granting institution in the USM has two
representatives to the Council. The Council meets monthly throughout
the school year; its meetings rotate among System campuses. Among
the specific responsibilities of the USMSC is the recommendation
to the Chancellor each year for transmittal to the Governor of
a group of nominees for the position of USM Student Regent. The
Council receives staff assistance through an advisor/liaison to
the Chancellor in the Office of Academic Affairs at the USM Office.
Students from throughout the System who would like to share ideas
and concerns for their individual institutions or the system as
a whole may contact their institutional representatives or any
one of the officers. |
