UPDATE: Chancellor's Welcome for all Staff and Faculty - August 23

Good morning,

In celebration of the many UMD employees who worked on campus during the pandemic and those coming back to campus next month, I have decided to hold the Welcome Event in person, instead of our previously planned virtual event. Since I know some of you will continue working remotely, we will record the event for you to review at a later time.

Please join me and my leadership team in the Ward Wells Field House at 10:00am on Monday, August 23. Coffee, fruit and pastries will be served.

We will again be collecting nonperishable food for Champ's Cupboard, the UMD Food Shelf located in 245 Kirby Plaza. Unused/unopened/unexpired items specifically needed are:

  • Peanut butter
  • Mac & cheese and "Just add Water Meals" (Pasta-Roni, Rice-a-Roni, Bear Creek, Idaho Mashed Potato mix)
  • Organic and Gluten Free Items
  • Dry pasta, rice and pasta sauce 
  • Lighter meals/snacks: granola bars, trail mix 
  • Spaghettios, chili, stew 
  • Canned tuna and chicken
  • Chunky soups 
  • Hamburger, Chicken or Tuna Helper
  • Dry breakfast cereal and oatmeal packets
  • Fruit -  canned, applesauce, fruit cocktail, dried fruit

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all!

Lynn Black
Chancellor
