From France to The Shore! 🇫🇷🩶

This semester, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore welcomed representatives from the University of Lorraine as they visited campus to connect with students, faculty, and university leadership and learn more about our growing international exchange partnership.

During their visit, they spent time with the four University of Lorraine exchange students currently studying at UMES and met Fiyi Oladapo, who will study abroad at the University of Lorraine next semester. Fiyi is just the second UMES student to participate in the exchange program, continuing a partnership that provides Hawks with valuable global learning experiences.

From Maryland to France and back again, opportunities like these are helping students expand their horizons, build international connections, and prepare for success in an increasingly interconnected world. 🌍✨

This Men’s Mental Health Month, we’re reminding our Hawk brothers that strength isn’t about carrying everything alone.

Checking in. Speaking up. Asking for help. Supporting one another. These are all signs of strength!

At UMES, we encourage the men in our community to prioritize their mental health, lean on their support systems, and know that they are never alone.🩶

Leadership goes beyond the classroom! 💡🌎

This spring, students in the Richard A. Henson Honors Program wrapped up the semester with a Leadership Summit focused on skills for lifelong success. From financial literacy and mental health to effective leadership and navigating the age of AI, scholars learned from professionals committed to paying it forward.
At UMES, we're preparing students not just for graduation, but for life.
