*Commencement 05212021 SC 8521 1920x1080 — Senior marshals are nominated by faculty and staff to enter the commencement ceremony carrying the banner bearing the name of their major’s school or college.*

University of Maryland senior marshals are flag bearers in more ways than one.

Not only do they usher in graduating Terps at the main commencement ceremony, giant gonfalon banners in hand for colleges, schools and other major units, but they are campus leaders who have demonstrated exceptional scholarship, service to the campus community, extracurricular involvement and personal growth.

“It’s been such an honor to serve alongside these student leaders in the past at this critical point in their journey,” said Marsha Guenzler-Stevens, director of the Adele H. Stamp Student Union, who oversees the program with Robert Infantino, associate dean of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences.

The 60 Spring 2022 marshals are:
