Happy Holidays From Darryll and Sylvia Pines

Video: ‘Let Us Rededicate Ourselves … to Making Our Campus and Our World a Better Place’

With their goldendoodle, Rocky, at their sides, and accompanied by scenes of snowy frolic, UMD President Darryll J. Pines and Sylvia Pines delivered their annual season’s greetings in an email to the campus community today:

As this year draws to a close, we are filled with a sense of optimism and gratitude. We are thankful for our community of Terps—students, faculty, staff, alums and friends—and our collective spirit of commitment to building a welcoming and respectful multicultural community on our campus.

Wishing you a joyous holiday season and a bright new year!

President Darryll Pines and Sylvia Pines
