🤔 TERPS TRIVIA

🐢 ONE BIG THING

Graduation is a milestone that signifies the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

For the University of Maryland's student-athletes, this milestone is even more significant, as it represents the culmination of years of hard work dedicated to balancing the rigorous demands of sports and academics.

These student-athletes have not only excelled in their respective sports but have also managed to thrive academically. They reflected on their time at Maryland, what being a Maryland student-athlete meant to them and their post-graduation next steps.

Congratulations to all our Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Spring 2024 graduates.
