Happy Holidays
As 2025 comes to a close, I hope the entire University of Maryland family can look back on the past year and appreciate our accomplishments and feel our momentum. As we head into a new year, let us all continue to be inspired by our Do Good spirit and all of the pride, innovation and achievements that make us one of one in higher education.
Our university gives us so many reasons to be proud. Internationally-ranked academic programs. Amazing artists and groundbreaking researchers. Award-winning faculty. Extraordinary and caring staff. Together, we are channeling our collective excellence to take on the grand challenges of our time.
