My Fellow Terps,
It’s time we take a bold step together. This week, our university launched its most ambitious fundraising campaign yet; Forward: The University of Maryland Campaign for the Fearless—a $2.5 billion effort to move Maryland into an extraordinary new era.
As Terps, we’ve never been ones to stand still. We push boundaries. We spark ideas. We make things happen. From breakthroughs in quantum science and human-centered AI to innovations in the arts, energy and global health, our impact is accelerating—and it’s because of you.
In support of this monumental campaign, your Alumni Association will advance university priorities through programs and events that unite Terps. From lifelong learning opportunities to gatherings that celebrate excellence and further our commitment to Do Good, we’re proud to offer inspiring ways for you to connect and champion Maryland pride.
Forward is for all Terps. It’s for every alum who believes in what this place can do. Your spirit, your energy, and your support helps Maryland stay fearless.
As a fellow alum, and on behalf of the Alumni Association, I call upon the strength of our Terrapin Community to move Maryland Forward. Wherever you are, whatever your Maryland story, we hope you will join the momentum.
Forward happens together.
Go Terps!
