On April 3, four young alums headlined Terps Under 30, an Alumni Association and Student Alumni Leadership Council signature event on campus designed to bring together students and alums to connect and share how they are moving fearlessly forward.

Amy Eichhorst, associate vice president of alumni and donor relations, and executive director of the Alumni Association, reminded the audience that UMD has 405,000 living alums. “That’s a lot of alumni all doing amazing things and really making an impact on the globe.”

Read on to hear what these UMD grads had to say.
