Best Class Ever Challenge

The Best Class Ever Challenge

January 1 - September 15, 2024

LSM has 19 Best Classes Ever.
Which class will claim bona fide bragging rights for 2024?

The Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) Alumni Committee is pleased to announce the 2024 Best Class Ever (BCE) Challenge. Each LSM class claims to be the Best Class Ever. From January 1st to September 15th, we challenge all LSM classes to demonstrate which class truly holds that distinction! Graduates earn points for their classes by engaging in a range of LSM and community activities that demonstrate their commitment to engagement and service. The class with the most points on September 15th (at 11:59pm ET) will be declared the official Best Class Ever for 2024!

Earn BCE points for your class by joining or renewing your membership in the LSM Alumni Association, attending LSM events, donating to LSM, volunteering with LSM or in the community, and through other means, detailed below.

The Best Class Ever for 2024 will be announced at Homecoming in October!
