The University Student Government Association (USGA) is a campuswide student government that represents all UMB students on campus.  It consists of Student Senators who are elected each year to represent the seven professional and graduate schools at monthly senate meetings (usually the second Wednesday of each month). The USGA Senate meetings are centered around issues and events that involve all UMB schools and their respective students.

The USGA works toward enhancing the quality of life for all UMB students. It seeks to address student concerns that may arise throughout the school year, such as parking and campus safety. Furthermore, the USGA promotes the free exchange of ideas and advocates for student rights.

The USGA financially co-sponsors events that provide campuswide educational, cultural, and social programs. It provides several stress-relieving and fun activities where students from across the campus can meet each other, such as Fall Fest, Baseball Bullpen Party, mixers, and much more!

How Can I Get Involved?

Students are welcome to participate in all USGA events and attend our monthly USGA senate meetings to get involved with the issues discussed or in USGA event planning.

Shared Governance Statement

Shared governance is a priority at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). We believe in a shared responsibility among staff, faculty, administration, and students to promote a collaborative process whereby UMB and the faculty, staff, and students have regular dialogue on important issues of concern to the parties. The common shared objective is to enhance the goals of the institution.
