Volunteer Wherever You Are

Support student scholarships by volunteering for the Alumni Association Holiday Party Silent Auction. New this year, the Silent Auction will raise critical scholarship funds for Maryland students. Get involved by securing auction items, and/or make an in-kind donation of a good or service. Both opportunities allow you to give back to the next generation of Terps while supporting your alma mater. Interested in helping, or want to learn more?

Each year, we celebrate and honor the achievements of seven outstanding Terps at A Celebration of Terps: Featuring The Maryland Awards. These awards recognize fearless alumni who have risen to the highest levels of public service, launched successful companies and made groundbreaking discoveries.
