About Us

The Division of Student Affairs Office of Development and External Relations provides Division-wide leadership and support in the areas of fundraising and external relations. Through the establishment and cultivation of relationships with friends, parents, alumni, foundations and corporations, we work to create shared interests with an ultimate goal of philanthropic support for Division-wide and departmental priorities.

Corporate Sponsorship & Philanthropy

Today, you can connect with students, faculty/staff, community members and even alumni by becoming a corporate sponsor and investing in the student programs that make Maryland such a special place.

Corporate sponsorships ensure that students connect with local and national businesses through important student programs that advance the campus community.

Planned & Named Giving

Today, you can leave a lasting impact on a University of Maryland student. Your gift will not only shape the course of their life forever, but also make a profound impression on your life and your family.

To discuss making a gift or leaving your legacy please contact Ed Kenny.

Philanthropic Priorities

Students are our priority, so to address their immediate needs, we identified a select group of programs and initiatives that provide the support that students frequently look for from the Division of Student Affairs.

University of Maryland students excel beyond the classroom because of these unique and inspiring programs that take place beyond their campus community. There are numerous programs that you can support today to ensure that students have the internship opportunities, as well as leadership and civic engagement experiences that define the Maryland experience.

Off-Campus Housing

For off-campus housing options, please visit the Off-Campus Housing Office, which provides resources to university students and the community on off-campus housing issues and provides assistance with finding off-campus housing.
