Dozens of McDaniel College students are turning their words into action by signing up to work as election judges at polling places across Carroll and Baltimore counties during the November election.

In the 2009 legislative session, MICUA is requesting $10 million in capital improvement grants from the State for construction and renovation projects at three member institutions.
