Subject: Call for Launch UMD Crowdfunding Projects - Deadline 11/2

Description:
Launch UMD (http://www.launch.umd.edu) is now accepting applications for its
30-day crowdfunding rounds. 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. 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.

The deadline to submit an application for the second fall round is November
2. Let Abby Robinson ([log in to unmask]) 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. To see previously funded projects, visit
