Montgomery County Terps Alumni Network
The Montgomery County Terps Alumni Network provides social, professional and educational opportunities to Terps and their family and friends within Montgomery County, Maryland. Along with the great mission of the Alumni Association, our top priority is to reach out, connect and build relationships with each and every alumni. We are a diverse group—representing different backgrounds, age groups, interests and cultures—but we all share the same desire to meet new people, reconnect with old acquaintances, and most importantly, stay connected with our alma Mater.
