We did have a lot of help along the way though, but we’ve grown a lot since then and now have so much potential to get amazing things done.

Without their commitment and dedication, the 700 signatures needed to get the referendum on that ballot could not have been collected, and 91% of voters would not have voted in favor. Thanks to everyone for their work!

We seriously couldn’t have done it without a lot of the help along the way, and of course people at UMD being really receptive.

You guys sent an amazing precedent. We’re working to have a similar referendum on the ballot this spring at UMBC. In our activity fee discussions we cited your landslide support as a reason why we need to offer students the opportunity to vote for this. If you have any advice e-mail me at djohn1@umbc.edu, thanks and congrats!!
