2015 Year in Review

Highlights from another great year in sustainability at UMD

The students, faculty and staff of the University of Maryland community once again proved in 2015 that Terps are committed to leaving small footprints. From continuing success stories like Terp Farm and the Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability to new initiatives like the Small Footprint Pledge being showcased at Maryland Day, UMD continues to be a national leader in sustainability.

Compiling a list of 2015 highlights is no easy task and it's nearly impossible to include everything, which is a testament to the great work and efforts of Terps taking place on our campus and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who made a positive impact in 2015 and we're looking forward to a great 2016!
