The list that follows is our annual honor roll of donors, recognizing the alumni, students, faculty and staff, parents, and friends who have contributed to UMSON from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.
Thank you, one and all! With appreciation,
Laurette L. Hankins
Associate Dean for Development and Alumni Relations hankins@son.umaryland.edu
