WINTER COMMENCEMENT / DECEMBER 19 & 20, 2017 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 can 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 2018, on April 28.

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 2017 Winter Commencement / U N I V E R S I T Y

On behalf of the University of Maryland Alumni Association, congratulations on your milestone achievement!

Today you become members of a distinguished group: University of Maryland alumni. During your time here you demonstrated leadership and a commitment to Do Good, and exhibited discipline in your academic studies as well as on campus and in community activities. Your efforts opened doors to opportunities once unimaginable. These qualities and skills don’t stop once you graduate. In fact, I’m confident your success at the University of Maryland will lead to greater accomplishments and success as you move forward in life.

But your journey is not over with Maryland; it is just beginning. You now play the important role of alumnus, a role that is critical to the success of this great institution. I encourage you to make a commitment to your alma mater by becoming a lifetime member of the Alumni Association. By becoming a Terp for life, you will leave your own legacy and make a contribution that will enhance the experiences of those who follow.

The Alumni Association can help you connect with fellow alumni in your area through events, prepare you for your career with educational opportunities and keep you informed of university news.

It is our hope that as an alumnus, you will display your degree proudly and continue the tradition of demonstrating 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 athletics titles. Maryland will continue to be fearless in everything it does and will always make you proud to be a Terp!

Stay active, stay informed, stay connected. And stay fearless.

These degrees do not involve the completion of original research by the student.
