Student Advocacy Day

Every year, hundreds of community college students from across Maryland board buses and head for Annapolis. They come to advocate for strong state support of the community college mission ⇒ providing affordable access to quality higher education, and preparing the workforce for the careers that keep Maryland businesses, schools, emergency services, and infrastructure running every day. The 2023 Student Advocacy Day Kickoff will be a VIRTUAL event, at 9:00 am on Tuesday, February 21st.

Students apply to be part of their college’s Advocacy Day delegation, and the competition can be tough. Selected students meet face-to-face with elected officials and share personal stories about ways community college has empowered their futures.
