WINTER COMMENCEMENT / DECEMBER 20 & 21, 2014 Congratulations on your graduation from the University of Maryland! This is a milestone that should bring great pride to you, your family and friends.

I am certain that your time at the University of Maryland has been filled with fearless ideas, friendships and opportunities. As president of this great university, I want to express my hope that you have explored new areas and discovered new talents. The world is waiting for you to share them.

As you move beyond the campus, I hope you will remember the intellectual curiosity and drive that inspired your time here. Graduating does not mean that learning has come to an end. It means that you are now equipped to take charge of your own learning. This is a privilege and a profound responsibility.

Society’s advancement will depend upon your knowledge and your leadership.

As you leave us, you should take with you the pride we all feel in your accomplishments as scholars, artists, athletes and leaders. You have enriched the university’s life and have helped it to climb to a new level of distinction. We welcome you into the alumni family, a truly special group.

I hope that you stay connected to the University of Maryland and take full advantage of being an alum. Stay involved with us and help new generations of students develop their futures. You can do this by returning to campus often, starting with Maryland Day 2015, on April 25.

You have my very best wishes for all your future plans. Make your mark. But wherever your future path takes you, please remember that you will always be a Terp. I hope you will always stay in touch. Go Terps!

Sincerely,

Wallace D. Loh, President 2014 Winter Commencement / U N I V E R S I T Y

On behalf of the University of Maryland Alumni Association, I congratulate you on your milestone achievement!

Today you become members of a distinguished group: Maryland alumni. Like you, we all exhibited discipline, commitment, determination and leadership in our academic studies, as well as in our campus and community activities. After departing College Park and applying these qualities in other aspects of our lives, we saw doors open wide to opportunities that were once only imaginable. You too will carry these qualities with you, and we expect they will lead to great accomplishments and success.

Now is the time for you to look to your future. I ask, however, that along the way you look back upon your alma mater to reflect on the value of your experiences, many of which were made possible only through the contributions—time, money and talents—of alumni. I encourage you to one day leave your own legacy and make a contribution that will enhance the experiences of those who follow. The first step in making this contribution is joining the Maryland Alumni Association.

While this phase of your life has concluded, your relationship with the University of Maryland has not. The alumni association is the portal to all the university still has to offer. We hope you stay connected and engaged for years to come.

It’s my hope that as alumni you will display your degree proudly and demonstrate to the world the high-quality education it represents. In turn, Maryland will continue to educate the country’s brightest students, pursue cutting-edge research, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, explore the arts and defend our athletic titles. Maryland will continue to be fearless in everything it does and will always make you proud to be a Terp.

Sincerely,

Nicole Pollard ’91 President, Maryland Alumni Association Board of Governors

Doctoral Degrees The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions. There are two distinct types: the practitioner’s degree and the research degree. The first type represents advanced training for the practice of various professions, principally doctor of audiology, doctor of medicine, juris doctor, doctor of pharmacy and doctor of veterinary medicine. These degrees do not involve the completion of original research by the student. The University of Maryland, at the professional school in Baltimore, awarded the first two dental degrees on March 9, 1841.
