Message from Vice President for Student Affairs Patty Perillo
|

Dear Terps,
We miss you like crazy! You are the energy and lifeline to this campus community and it just does not feel like home without you here physically. While we know you will return, again and again and again eventually, we wanted to stay in touch with you during this time of physical distancing. You need to know that while we aren’t together in one space, we are together in love and spirit for that is what it means to be a Terp!
My team and I, in the Division of Student Affairs, continue to think about ways we can keep connected and together! So, every week you will get this email as a way to remind you that we are here for you – always! Use these resources to find ways to take care of yourselves, to support others and to remain connected to YOUR university. We never forget that you are the reason we are here. You got this! And, we got you! Enjoy all that you will discover here!
Stay healthy and well - Patty
Patty Perillo
