Six University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) professors have been recognized with the designation of Distinguished University Professor, the highest appointment bestowed on a faculty member at UMB. The title is a recognition not just of excellence, but also of impact and significant contribution to the nominee’s field, knowledge, profession, and/or practice.
In announcing the fourth cohort of Distinguished University Professors, UMB President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, said, “I’m extremely proud of the exceptional and transformational contributions each of these faculty members has made in support of UMB’s mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good. They are excellent examples of living UMB’s core values, and it is my honor to call them colleagues.”
