The Best Class Ever Challenge
January 1 - September 15, 2024
LSM has 20 Best Classes Ever.
Which classes claimed bona fide bragging rights for 2024?
The Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) Alumni Committee is pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 Best Class Ever (BCE) Challenge. Each LSM class claims to be the Best Class Ever. From January 1st to September 15th, we challenged all LSM classes to demonstrate which class truly holds that distinction! Graduates earned 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) was 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!
Congratulations to all of our 2024 Best Class Ever Challenge winners!
