Apply to become a Summer 2014 Terps for Change Volunteer!

Terps for Change is committed to connecting the university with the local community through sustained, collaborative, and meaningful community service-learning. By exploring the root causes through critical reflection and meaningful dialogue, we seek to better understand the systemic complexities of social issues and the action steps we can take to address them.

Volunteers will engage in a couple of hours of service per week and participate in bi-weekly community dialogues. If you are interested, the application can be found here. Deadline is June 16 at 9am! More details are available on the web. Please e mail terpservice@umd.edu with any questions.

The Diamondback is hiring opinion columnists

The Diamondback is currently seeking opinion columnists for Summer and Fall 2014. Columnists generally write every other week, and often focus on political, social or cultural issues, but each column must have a campus connection of some sort. Columnists do not write about specific movies, music, or sporting events (we have separate sections for those topics). Although international or national news is worthy of covering, to do so our columnists must always answer the question, “Why should students at this university  care?”  If you can answer that question and there’s an angle you can continually write from, we encourage you to apply!

Please send a sample column (approx. 500-600 words) addressed to Maggie Cassidy and Caroline Carlson to opinionumdbk@gmail.com.
