Increased value of a Maryland degree
Alumni participation is a determining factor in Maryland’s
ranking among other public research universities. As our reputation
expands, so does the value of your degree.

Automatic subscriptions to Terp
magazine
Association members automatically receive a subscription to Terp
magazine—the award-winning publication that puts university
