<p>does anyone have any information on how to join student government as a freshman? What does being a member of the class of 2012 council entail?</p>
<p>Last year the 2011 class council planned events targeted to freshmen--a barbecue, get togethers, they made a class t-shirt, etc. (I know this because Orientation sponsored the freshmen council. But really it's up to the council to decide what they want to do--I know they met regularly.</p>
<p>There are multiple ways of getting involved with student government. There is the SGA and the University Senate--just search on the Maryland website for their pages and they have the info there.</p>
<p>somebodynew- thanks for the input! btw does anyone have any information to share about the Residence Hall Association. I got something in the mail about it recently, but I'm a little bit confused about what types of positions freshmen may run for. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>@redsoxgirl: Exactly what I wanna know. I got it in mail two days back.
Can any freshman join the RHA? Or do you need some skills to become a part of it?</p>
