Terp Family Hugs & High Fives is a collaboration between the Office of Family Engagement, Dean of Students Office, and dedicated Terp Family volunteers. As the semester winds down and midterms or finals approach, students could use some extra love and support. That's where you come in!

Terp family members are invited to campus to share hugs, high-fives, fist bumps, and words of encouragement with hardworking students. Even if you can't join us in person, you can still contribute by providing study fuel in the form of snacks and drinks for students. Let's rally together to lift their spirits as they prepare to finish the semester strong. We believe that knowing they have a supportive Terp Family community behind them can make all the difference during this stressful time.

Additionally, we'll be sharing valuable campus resources for health and wellness. Be a part of this fun event and show students that they're not alone—we're all in this together!
