Maryland Day!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking my son Ben to the University of Maryland's open house - fondly known as Maryland Day! Ben and I volunteered to help give out prizes at the College of Education Tent and help run the Terp Taught Trivia game.

During the event, two popular children’s book authors took part in the Maryland Day festivities - Alumnus Jeff Kinney, author of the popular series Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Laura Duksta who has developed a very successful school program "Self-Esteem through Love: Empowering Our Children to Shine!" Both shared insights into their success and how they enjoy helping students!

It was a great day!

Calling all U. of Md. College of Education graduates...we are looking to increase the number of Alumni who participate in activities like this one, as well as other opportunities to help current College of Education students. Please think about joining the Alumni Association and contacting me if you have an interest in getting involved. This month, I will become President of the College of Education Alumni Association Board. Your support is needed and appreciated!
