Each year, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) celebrates the achievements and successes of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and philanthropic supporters and pays tribute to UMB’s 217-year history with a series of Founders Week events.
Founders Week is a wonderful opportunity to recognize our historic achievements, our future possibilities, and the invaluable role that our friends, funders, and community, government, and business partners play in helping UMB fulfill its mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good of Maryland.
We will celebrate and recognize our outstanding Founders Week Award winners — Educator of the Year, David J. Ramsay Entrepreneur of the Year, Public Servant of the Year, Researcher of the Year, and Student of the Year — as well as mark the 10th anniversary of the Office of Community Engagement and the groundbreaking for the new School of Social Work building.
