Thank you for being a Terp Alumni! Our Terp network is known for their generosity,
so if you are looking for a low time-commitment way to give back, consider serving
as a UMD Alumni Network Advisor. The Advisors share information about their
career path, organization culture, as well as have the option to give resume/
interviewing advice. Go to www.umd.evisors.com and follow the directions on the
screen to sign up. UMD alumni can register to serve as Advisors in as little as 3
minutes, if they have a LinkedIn account. Click here to learn how it works!Alumni are waiting to talk with YOU!
