First graduating class of the University Hospital Training School for Nurses, 1892

The HS/HSL will celebrate Women’s History Month all through March by featuring women at UMB on the library’s blog and in an exhibit titled, ‘The First Women of the University of Maryland, Baltimore.’


This exhibit celebrates and honors the firsts of women at UMB: the first women graduates, the first women faculty members, and the first women deans — in other words, the first women leaders at UMB; the firsts who paved the way for all women graduates, faculty, staff, and leaders who have since followed in their paths.

Stop by the Frieda O. Weise Gallery at the HS/HSL during March 2020 to see the exhibit, "The First Women of the University of Maryland, Baltimore," and honor the first women of UMB.

For more information about the first women leaders, please visit the HS/HSL blog here.

Students, faculty, and staff, let your voice be heard!
