The University of Maryland is committed to providing exceptional opportunities to its student-athletes to help prepare them for their postgraduate careers.

Ten seniors who participated in the program presented their strategic plan for the athletic program on April 30 at Glazer Auditorium. The seniors have participated in the program for the past two years, during which they have learned about personality assessments, mock interviews, financial literacy, inclusive excellence, and more.
