The University of Maryland. Here, great gets greater. Theory becomes practice. Thinking turns into doing. Power becomes action. We’re not satisfied with beginnings. We need to set things in motion. Start movements. Shift behavior. Break new ground. Step forward. Challenge convention. Jump in. Stir the pot. See things others miss. Enter through different doors. Embrace impossible. Raise expectations. Build communities. Move boundaries.
We are provocateurs. Perfectionists. Entrepreneurs. Curious. Empathetic. Active. And hungry. Our path will be ongoing and will not be summed up by a single slogan. We have a mighty spirit inside that will not be denied.
Let us stand together and chart our course. Let us capture imaginations. Allow the world to see our genius, our talent, our heritage, our future. We are the University of Maryland. Fear the Turtle.
About
When you’re wrangling Nobels, planning missions to space and entrepeneurin’ like
crazy, people should know about it. That’s why we’ve created
this site. To showcase our Fear The Turtle-ness and to tell stories
about UMD faculty, staff, students and alumni who are kicking the status
quo to the curb. This is only the beginning. We’ll be adding more
to the site so check back. And don’t forget to Fear The Turtle!
Our Story
It starts
with grit and determination and the rebels of genius. It starts with
hard-charging visionaries, with Nobels, Pulitzers and national
championships. It starts in the corridors of influence and the far
corners of the mind. It starts with a fresh perspective and an
insatiable hunger for what's next.
