Friday Five: Learn from Maryland Faculty

Welcome to the Friday Five, a roundup of the best your Alumni Association and other UMD communities have to offer. From the latest events to fun facts, here are essentials in five categories for you to check out this weekend.

1. What's Happening

- Alumni Association Faculty Series — April 6-May 11

UMD Faculty are among the world's leading experts, helping to solve the Grand Challenges of our time. Their research has the power to transform lives by advancing our understanding of the world around us. As an alum, you are forever a Terp and we want to make sure you have access to learn, grow, and have fun with our professors here on campus. Join the Alumni Association this spring for a virtual series featuring some of UMD's most distinguished faculty as they showcase their research and its impact on humanity. We can't wait to have you back with us in the classroom — the virtual classroom — and this time with no homework! 

2. Quotables

- Mike Luzio ’98: One of UMD’s Loudest Cheerleaders

"Mike Luzio ’98 doesn’t just say he loves the University of Maryland — he displays his boundless zeal for all things Terps throughout his family’s New Jersey house, from the proud red decorations on their Christmas tree to the basement bar and bocce court decked out in Maryland colors and paraphernalia.”

UMD offers and hosts dozens of academic, recreational, arts and sports programs to entertain and educate kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens.
