‘Vax 4 Maryland’ to Keep UMD Healthy and Open

Weekly Drawings Continue for Vaccinated Terps to Win $250 Gift Cards

Meals with friends at The Stamp. Intramural sports. A return to in-person classes. Even cheering at a football game. It’s all possible on campus this fall as Terps get vaccinated. 

COVID-19 vaccinations are required for all students, faculty and staff coming to campus, as announced by University System of Maryland Chancellor Jay A. Perman. 

Already vaccinated? Every Friday through July 30, “Vax 4 Maryland” champions will have the opportunity to win a $250 University Book Center gift card.

To qualify for the weekly drawing, participants must confirm their vaccination status at return.umd.edu and encourage other Terps to get vaccinated via social media using the #Vax4Maryland hashtag and posting an image or video. A student and faculty/staff winner is selected each Friday.
