Catalyst Magazine

President’s Message

Together we have accomplished an amazing goal: The Catalyst Campaign was the most ambitious fundraising campaign in UMB's history with a goal of $750 million. I am proud to say that we not only met that goal, we also surpassed it nearly six months before the campaign’s end.

Celebrating UMB's Catalyst Campaign

Community Engagement

Community engagement is vital to the health and well-being of every community. At UMB, we are deeply committed to improving quality of life in West Baltimore and the communities surrounding our campus.

Student Scholarship

We are dedicated to attracting and educating the best and brightest scholars while making a UMB education affordable, regardless of a student’s race, ethnicity, or income.

School of Dentistry

The first dental college in the world, the highly ranked University of Maryland School of Dentistry (UMSOD) continues to shape the profession today.

Carey School of Law

The University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law is a driving force in legal education, scholarship, and research.

School of Nursing

The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) is advancing the science of nursing through innovative research, practical learning, and an unwavering commitment to the community.

School of Social Work

The University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) is one of the most respected schools of social work in America.

UMB Center Helps Crime Survivors ROAR Back

“It is great knowing someone is on your side.” This is the typical response of the 250 to 300 people a year assisted by the Rebuild, Overcome, and Rise (ROAR) Center at the Carey School of Law.

Putting PATIENTS First

Thanks to the School of Pharmacy and its PATIENTS Program, distrust of medical research, which goes back generations, is slowly fading as the goal of reducing health inequities grows.
