Peters Gift To Help Fund Scholarships
For Doug Peters ’85, there’s a tie to Maryland Smith that runs deep. Now, the former Maryland state senator is helping others form a Maryland Smith bond of their own, establishing a Maryland Promise scholarship to help support need-based scholarships for UMD undergraduate students, with a preference for those who plan to study at Smith. Peters worked to establish the endowed fund over the summer, as he retired from Maryland’s state senate and was appointed to the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.
Championing Others on the Way to a Successful Career
At Maryland Smith, Terrill L. Drake, EMBA ’12, envisioned the next stages of his career through the pursuit of a more inclusive community. Now, he’s taking the lessons he’s learned to Harvard Business School where he will become its first chief diversity and inclusion officer.
Smith Day is an annual tradition celebrating the strong Smith community of alumni, students, faculty, and staff. Join the Smith community on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, for the Fifth Annual Smith Day that will include interactive activities, opportunities to show why you are #UMDSmithProud and opportunities to connect with fellow Smith Terps.
