A Letter from the Deans

The QUEST Honors Program at the University of Maryland embraces a key pillar of the University’s strategic plan to move fearlessly forward through reimagining learning. QUEST classes are unlike any other, providing high-impact learning experiences for 258 of the university’s most outstanding students. QUEST also brings together students from multidisciplinary backgrounds, leading to creative expression, discovery, and critical thinking.

As deans, we aim to expand these types of innovative, imaginative programs, and QUEST leads the way as a model with 30 years of experience. It has been a pleasure to support the program during this pivotal milestone, and we look forward to many more years of transformative higher education.

Thank you to all of the students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, corporate partners, and benefactors who have contributed to the success of QUEST. We look forward to your continued participation!
