ALUMNI WELCOME
Dear Friends, Welcome to Maryland in Manhattan! Tonight, hundreds of Terps gather in New York for the seventh year to celebrate the University of Maryland and its amazing alumni. It is truly a great time to be a Terp! Maryland’s athletic teams are soaring to new heights as members of the Big Ten Conference, thrilling alumni and fans in Maryland and around the country. Both the women’s and men’s basketball teams have seen tremendous success, as have our other varsity teams. The other B1G teams have learned to Fear the Turtle! Behind it all is the University of Maryland’s stature as one of the world’s premier institutions of higher education. Just this month, we are showcasing our world-class commitment to innovation through 30 Days of Enterpreneurship, a celebration of the Fearless Ideas brought to life through the inspiration and diligence of our talented students, faculty, researchers and alumni. And tonight, there are some truly outstanding Terps among us. We honor them for their professional achievements and for representing the best of what it means to be a University of Maryland graduate. I am delighted that we are gathered this evening to recognize and celebrate these accomplished alumni. Once more, welcome to Maryland in Manhattan. Thank you for being here and for your continued support of the University of Maryland. Go Terps!
