Mileah Kromer, Founder of Goucher College Poll, Will Lead UMBC’s New Institute of Politics

After 12 years of monitoring public perception of Maryland politics and issues through the Goucher College Poll, Mileah Kromer will serve as the inaugural director of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s new Institute of Politics.

Kromer has served as the Sarah T. Hughes Center for Politics at Goucher College since 2012. While there, she founded and oversaw the well-respected Goucher College Poll, which released its first survey results in October 2012. The poll, which typically releases results a few times per year, is a trusted barometer for approval ratings, voters’ leanings in political races, and the public’s view on key social issues.

UMBC President Valerie Sheares Ashby on Thursday announced Kromer’s new role as head of the university’s Institute of Politics, which will open with the start of the fall 2024 semester on Aug. 28.
