🤔 TERPS TRIVIA

🐢 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Feeding The Soul. Steve Schanwald has his reasons. 

The 1977 graduate of the University of Maryland donated $10 million to Maryland’s athletic department — part of an $18 million gift to the University of Maryland that also supports the Sports Management Program at the Robert H. Smith School of Business.

The gift, announced on Dec. 3, was the third largest received by the department in its history. Schanwald sought to pay homage to the university that launched his career and to the students, now and yet to come, who represent the future of the University of Maryland and society as a whole.
