SELECTION COMMITTEE Each spring, the selection committee joins IAP staff in identifying exceptional students for the new cohort. Members review applications, interview students and then make thoughtful recommendations to staff. With our applicant pool growing and becoming more competitive, this is a yeoman’s task that they undertake year after year. The dedication and support of the selection committee is not just invaluable; it is a way to engage the community, raise awareness of the program and cultivate champions for IAP. The 32-person committee comprises UMD and IAP alumni, university staff, donors and community volunteers.
"Serving on the IAP selection committee is one of the most rewarding and exciting points in my work calendar all year. Meeting young people with
the ir live s
drive , c o n vi c ti on
and a
visi o n f o r
is a boost to my spirit. It is an
honor for me to be able to support a program that was designed specifically for Baltimore City students as a pathway to and through college. Giving my time is a small investment for a big payoff.”
