Samantha Howard Serves as Latino Affairs Liaison for Prince George's County
Adelphi, MD (10/17/2024) — Samantha Howard, the Latino Affairs Liaison for Prince George's County, was honored by University of Maryland Global Campus with the Alumni Achiever Award. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies in 2022.
In her role as Latino Affairs Liaison, she is committed to helping others succeed. Over the past year, Ms. Howard participated as a leading volunteer and panelist at six university activities supporting her UMGC community. As a non-traditional, first-generation college student, she started her educational journey at a community college in her late twenties. Although it took Ms. Howard an additional 11 years to earn her bachelor's degree, she never wavered on her goal, regardless of the challenges faced along the way, including working full-time, raising three children and studying.
Today, in her role in Prince George's County in Maryland, Ms. Howard serves as a crucial link between the government and the vibrant Latino community in the county. She is the bridge between cultures, a champion for equity and a catalyst for positive change.
