Message From the President

Dear Graduation Candidates,

Congratulations! You are approaching the end of your journey as students at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). In this time of transition, take a moment to reflect on your university experience. You have experienced a personal transformation. You leave us more mature, more knowledgeable, and better equipped for a world made smaller by its connectivity.

You will do well and we will be proud of you, our successful  alumni. You take with you the values and traditions of this great  institution, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  Remember that you are connected to UMES now and for all of  your years to come.

As a graduate of this class, know that we are very proud of you and wish you a constructive, fulfilling, and successful journey as you embark on this exciting life transition.

Congratulations on completing your degrees. The entire Hawk Family joins me in wishing you much success in your future endeavors. Hawk Pride! I look forward to seeing you at commencement.

Sincerely,

Heidi M. Anderson, PhD, FAPhA
