About Us

The Dean’s Student Advisory Council (DSAC) is an undergraduate committee that advises the BSOS Associate Dean and Dean on undergraduate matters, provides a forum for student leaders to propose and launch initiatives to support undergraduates in BSOS, and offers a forum for discussion and action on matters pertinent to the undergraduate experience at the University of Maryland. We operate with 4 committees that are committed to this mission including Student Services, Academics, Programming, and Outreach.

Leonard Fomin

Chair

Leonard Fomin is a junior majoring in Government and Politics, and Accounting. This year, he is serving as the Chair and the University Senate representative, following his service last year as the Student Government Association (SGA) representative. As chair, he is looking forward to implementing the ’25-’26 DSAC Vision (reimagining student-faculty relations, improving resource guides for career & academic goals, prioritizing resource accessibility and outreach to students, and building a strong BSOS community) alongside the council. This semester, Leonard will lead a BSOS Facilities Audit, surveying students to identify areas within the college’s buildings in need of modernization to better support academic success, culminating in a report to the Dean. After graduating from UMD, he will pursue a Master’s in Public Administration to prepare for a career in local or county government. In addition to DSAC, Leonard remains active in the SGA, the University Senate, and Alternative Breaks.
