Interim President Bruce Jarrell

Dear Graduating Students,

It’s hard to believe that graduation day for the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Class of 2026 is this coming spring. Our community looks forward to celebrating all that you have achieved — as well as all that is to come!

At the close of the academic year, our newest UMB graduates will head out into the world to fulfill the mission for which we’ve prepared them: to improve the human condition and serve the public good. I am proud of the part that you will play in meeting that mission.

More detailed information about school/department ceremonies will follow as we get closer to the date. Please visit this website, which will serve as a repository of information to plan your celebration, including the time and location of school/department ceremonies.  

Keep up the good work, Class of 2026!

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
President
