Subject: Submit a UMD crowdfunding application today

Description:
Launch UMD (http://www.launch.umd.edu) is now accepting applications for its
next 30-day crowdfunding round. The deadline for submitting applications for
the next round is October 26 at midnight. The application is available at
www.launch.umd.edu. Email Abby Robinson at [log in to unmask] and let her know if
you have an idea that you want to propose and she'll be happy to provide
feedback on your application before you submit it for review.

What could you do with $5,000 or $10,000 or more, to support a student
project, trip, activity, lab, course or competition? Do you have any projects
coming up or things that you dream of doing but just don’t have the
necessary funding? UMD’s crowdfunding effort called Launch UMD could
provide the funding you need!

Crowdfunding is a great way to engage members of the UMD community, including
alumni and families of students, with specific, exciting projects initiated
by our students, faculty and staff. Money can be used for things like
equipment, competitions, sending students to a conference or training or to
conduct research; and sustainability and community efforts.
