Alumni: Seven Schools, One University

Founded in 1807, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is Maryland’s premier public health, law, and human services university, dedicated to excellence in education, research, clinical care, and public service. Over the past 200-plus years, UMB has conferred degrees on almost 80,000 graduates, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, lawyers, social workers, researchers, and other professionals.

Practically every resident of Maryland is helped in some way by UMB’s graduates, the research we undertake, or the care, counsel, and service we provide.

I know that you, our alumni, help to improve the public good far and wide, here in Maryland and around the world. And I am proud to be president of the institution you all represent.

Whether you graduated last year, 75 years ago, or somewhere in between, I’m glad that you are part of the UMB alumni family. And I hope that you all feel like you are part of something bigger than just the school from which you graduated. You are part of UMB. You ARE UMB.

Sincerely,

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
President
