Season’s Greetings From Darryll and Sylvia Pines

Video: Holiday Season a Time to Reflect and Look Forward

As 2020 comes to a close, we reflect on a year like no other and celebrate the beauty and resilience in our world, like the pine trees painted by David C. Driskell that can weather the worst of winter and still stand tall and strong.

On behalf of the entire University of Maryland family, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.

President Darryll Pines and Sylvia Pines
