In 50 years, what will be  your legacy?

 

 

 

Maybe it was your parents, another relative or a friend of the family. 

Or maybe, it was even you.

 

But one day, someone made a decision that impacted your life.

It was a conscious decision... to walk that extra mile,  to work even longer in the heat of

the sun, or to sacrifice for today, what could be gained tomorrow.

 

But, it paid off.  That decision, whatever it was, changed your life forever.

 

At the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, we share your values of hard-work,

resilience, determination, integrity, honesty and faith.  Each day, we share those values with our

students—giving them a foundation in learning and leadership that will enable them to reach their highest possible potential.

 

Since 1886, our historically black, land-grant institution

has provided thousands of students with

educational opportunities they may not have

otherwise received if our doors were closed. 

Each year, we invite some 3800 students

of various races, ethnicities and countries to share

in an educational experience that offers intellectual

growth, cultural sensitivity and leadership development

as they prepare for life in a global community.

 

A significant number of our students receive assistance

in order to finance their college education.  However,

as state and federal support of our public institution

continues to decline, and as tuition continues to increase

in order to meet the needs of  basic operation, still too many students

are denied access to a quality education, or must forgo the continuation

of their academic pursuits because they simply cannot afford it.

Change Lives . . . Forever 

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore remains steadfast in its determination to continue the

legacy of learning and leadership for this next generation of leaders. 

Won’t you help us?
