Dear Campus Community,  We are glad to have our full community back on campus and are pleased that with the start of the semester, our COVID-19 cases have remained low and, reassuringly, the new sub-variants of COVID-19 are not translating into severe illness for most people. Over the last two years, we have been able to lessen the burden of COVID-19 within our community, thanks in part to our students, faculty and staff having received the initial vaccine and booster.

Below are important reminders regarding spring 2023 graduation deadlines and timeframes for graduate students.  Please email us at graduate-dean@umd.edu if you have any questions. Academic Deadlines February 7: Master’s and doctoral students: Final date to submit Application for Graduation in order to graduate this semester/term.

Sarah Rothman, Doctoral candidate of the Department of Environmental Science and Technology, won the UMD 2022 3-Minute Thesis Competition (3MT), for her presentation titled “Mosquitoes and Urban Green Space across Socioeconomic Gradients.” 

On September 23, 2022 the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) in the Graduate School invited postdoctoral students to an in-person research symposium during National Postdoctoral Appreciation Week.
