 Maryland Day this past April welcomed over 77,000 people,
and more young people. 160,000 program booklets were
distributed. The 8,000 campus volunteers made the day
special. Visitors said that the pride in the university
emanating from our people was palpable. Leading up to the event, the web site
was hit 2.3 million times or once every 1.5 seconds.
That was 600 thousand more hits than last year.
The 10th Maryland Day next April will feature our impact
on society—a symbolic "10" will mark the day—top
10, perfect 10, bottom 10, size 10, base 10...Dining
Services accepted the challenge to make 50,000 cupcakes
for the opening ceremony.
I'm prepared to start baking—that's
more than 10 cupcakes an hour from now to the opening,
so it's time to get started.
