Dear Graduates,
On behalf of the University of Maryland Alumni Association, I'm excited to congratulate to you on attaining this academic milestone.
Today, when you reach for your diploma, you will receive a torch—the legacy of excellence Maryland alumni have carried for more than 150 years. Hold it high, displaying your Terrapin pride for all to see.
It's my hope that in the years to come you'll shine your light on your alma mater by sharing your newfound expertise and ideas. In turn, Maryland will continue to educate the country's brightest students, pursue cutting-edge research, explore the arts and defend our athletic titles—we'll always make you proud to be a Terp.
Along with this commitment, the alumni association is pleased to give you a complimentary one-year association membership as a graduation gift.
