Dear Terps,

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 makes us one of one in higher education.
