What You Need to Know About Maryland Day 2019

It’s the best (if convoluted) kind of math problem: You have six hours Saturday to hit as many of the 392 events at Maryland Day as possible. How do you divide your time?

The massive open house, which typically draws 75,000 visitors to campus, is back for the 21st year.
