Warm wishes for a great semester break

Greetings students, faculty, and staff, 

Wow–it is finals week! I can’t believe how quickly this semester has gone. I’ve learned a lot in my first semester here as interim chancellor, and I trust that each of you has expanded your knowledge as well.

Whether you’re graduating or will be back for the next semester, I hope that you all have a great winter break. To help kick off this season, I’d encourage you to take a few minutes to watch this video greeting from members of our campus community. Each of you helps make UMD the amazing place that it is.

To our students graduating this semester, congratulations! We are so proud of you, your determination, and your hard work. Please stay engaged with UMD and know that you’re always welcome back to campus. 

It has been an absolute pleasure to experience the cycle of the fall semester with you, from move-in day all the way to finals–being together and feeling the energy of campus has been so rewarding. 

Thanks for a great semester. Have a safe and happy break, and see you again soon!

Sincerely,
Interim Chancellor McMillan Signature
