Dear Esteemed UMES Alumni,

I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt welcome to each of you as the President of the UMES Greater Annapolis Alumni Chapter.  It is an incredible honor to stand at the helm of this distinguished group, and I am excited about the possibilities that our collective energy, expertise, and passion hold.

Our alma mater, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), has been a cornerstone of our lives, shaping us into the individuals we are today. As proud alumni, we are united by the common thread of UMES pride, and this chapter provides us with a unique platform to celebrate our shared heritage, achievements, and aspirations.

In the spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, I invite you all to actively engage in our chapter's activities. Together, we can create a vibrant and supportive community where we uplift one another, celebrate our successes, and navigate life’s challenges together. Our Alumni Chapter is not just an organization; it is a family—a network of support, mentorship, and friendship.

As we embark on this journey together, I am confident that our shared dedication to UMES and to one another will lead to great accomplishments. Let’s make our Alumni Chapter a beacon of inspiration and a testament to the remarkable legacy of our alma mater.

Once again, welcome to the  Greater Annapolis Alumni Chapter. I am excited to see the incredible things we will achieve together.

Warm regards,

Larry Penn President, 

Greater Annapolis Alumni Chapter
