A Celebration to Remember
On April 23, the Alumni Association's marquee event, A Celebration of Terps: Featuring the Maryland Awards, returned as part of President Pines' Inauguration Week. Six outstanding Terps were honored at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center as alums from around the world participated in the festivities through a livestream broadcast. Visit the alumni blog to learn more about the awardees and the ceremony.
Thank you to everyone who virtually attended any of the Inauguration Week events. In case you missed it, check out some of these memorable events through recordings, including the investiture ceremony of President Pines, Innovate Maryland and Maryland Day, where Dom Rabrun '10 taught us how to draw our beloved mascot Testudo. |
