Dear UMB Community,

I want to take a moment to wish you a safe and happy holiday. I am so grateful for the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) community and all the ways you show up for each other and the communities we serve.

It’s a great privilege to be surrounded by people who use our core values to guide their behavior and are steadfast in our mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good. Thank you for making UMB what it is today.

I hope that — no matter what your plans are — you’re able to take some time and that you stay healthy and safe. 

Sincerely,

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS

President
