Scholar Stories

Meet the Scholars

An essential quality of each Scholar is an interest in community service, leadership and public issues and policy. This makes Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars among the most active students at UMBC. Our Scholars pursue new opportunities to serve both on campus and in the greater Baltimore community. During their time at UMBC, Scholars willingly seek leadership roles in campus-affiliated organizations while maintaining their commitment to academics and interest in new experiences.
