Zwybak?

Why Zwybak?

The short answer is that Zwybak (rhymes with Why pack?) is what you make it. Much like your UMBC experience, nobody else can define a meaning for you where one simply doesn't exist. You get the opportunity, and the challenge, of making something abstract take on a personal meaning.


The long answer is our own interpretation of what Zwybak means. Simply put, it stands for that feeling you get during an awkward moment, when everybody is waiting for somebody to take the lead and get the situation back on track. Not convinced? Try blurting out "zwybak" in the middle of a conversation, and you'll see what we mean. In SGA, we strive to both be the leaders who step up in those zwybak times and to encourage our fellow students to do the same. The Zwybak blog realizes that there is no real "line" between the students in a branch of the SGA and the students in a social group - we are all part of the community that makes UMBC what it is. By sharing our official and personal experiences with you, we hope to involve you in this dynamic and exciting process - or at the very least, prove that there is something more to SGA than a bunch of students hanging around an office.

Zwybak!
