Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Maryland, Maryland Girls State is a non-partisan event held at SU since 2009. Participants are assigned to represent fictitious cities and counties, learning how local and state governments work, from elections to the passage of legislation.
Students also hold a mock trial, learning about the judicial process and jury duty responsibility, and meet with local and state legislators.
They are joined by officers from the American Legion Department of Maryland family: American Legion Auxiliary Department President Doris Reynolds, American Legion Commander Lewis Trott and Sons of the American Legion Detachment Commander Jeffrey Seiler.
