Each year during the General Assembly Session, the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland hosts the Former Senator Nathaniel Exum Student Legislators Day, where students from accros the State come to Annapolis to be State Legislators for a day. Throughout the course of the day, students participate in many of the day-to-day activities of State legislators from testifying on legislation to voting on the house floor (pdf flyer).
This year's event will take place on Saturday, February 18, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m at the Miller Senate Office Building, 11 Bladen Street, Annapolis, Maryland.
