The Student Government Association (SGA) showed their support and appreciation to UMBC employees by presenting the Faculty Staff Senate with an award of gratitude on Tuesday, December 8. Remarks were made by President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Elliot Hirshman, followed be a presentation by Yasmin Karimian, SGA president, who said that students appreciate the financial sacrifices made by faculty and staff.
“I don’t think we say it enough,” Karimian said, “but thank you. Because of your efforts, students are safe to graduate. You’re helping us financially finish our education, and we truly appreciate everything you’ve done.”
Karimian, along with the rest of the SGA, voted unanimously to present this award.
Provost Hirshman also spoke about the university’s civility during tough economic times.
“Two million dollars was taken out of our budget,” said Hirshman, “and people continue to perform at the highest level of achievement. I also want to thank and acknowledge everyone for their efforts.”
