A NOTE FROM THE DEANS The QUEST Honors Program at the University of Maryland continues its tradition of excellence. In spite of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year, QUEST has stayed committed to multidisciplinary, team-based, experiential learning. High-achieving undergraduate students in business, engineering, and science have engaged with QUEST’s corporate partners for some of the most meaningful and impactful learning on campus. In doing so, QUEST students have provided significant value to these companies and organizations while adjusting to the new communication and collaboration norms. In many ways, this past year has been the most exciting and innovative for QUEST since its founding at the University of Maryland in 1992. As deans, we are committed to innovative and impactful undergraduate education. We are fortunate to have QUEST lead the way. It not only serves as a model for how to deliver on the commitment of President Pines to interdisciplinary education, it serves as a model for all programs in our three colleges. We are proud to have QUEST students and alumni lead the way in transforming higher education! Thank you to all of the students, alumni, staff, faculty, corporate partners, parents, and benefactors who have contributed to the success of QUEST. We look forward to your continued participation in the future!
