Alumni Tours

Alumni Tours give donors and VIP alumni the chance to go on a specialized tour of campus. The SALC has a set route, but can customize the tour based on the preferences of those attending. This gives alumni the chance to see new buildings on campus and visit their favorite spots from when they were students.

Traditions Keepers

The Alumni Association provides all first year students with an M Book each Fall which highlights Maryland traditions and history. Each book has a “bucket list” of traditions for students to complete during their time at Maryland. Those who complete all items on the” bucket list” will receive a medallion to wear at graduation. Traditions Keepers in SALC will monitor the bucket list progress each year.
