“Strive for clarity, but accept and understand ambiguity.”
That phrase captures one way in which an educated person approaches the world and its challenges Students who graduate from the University of Maryland have been exposed to the tools that allow them to put that perspective to work Imparting such a perspective may be an ambitious project for undergraduate education but to aim for anything less would be unworthy of a great university’s goals for its students Thirteen years ago Promises to Keep a plan for undergraduate education at Maryland articulated those goals so eloquently we repeat them here
Undergraduate education at Maryland “aims to provide students with a sense of identity and purpose a concern for others a sense of responsibility for the quality of life around them a continuing eagerness for knowledge and understanding and a foundation for a lifetime of personal enrichment ”
As we learn with and from one another we try to “develop human values ” “celebrate tolerance and fairness ” “contribute to the social conscience ” “monitor and assess private and collective assumptions ” and “recognize the glory tragedy and humor of the human condition ” Your years at the University of Maryland can provide you with all the tools you need to accomplish these goals Students here are “educated to be able to read with perception and pleasure write and speak with clarity and verve handle numbers and computation proficiently reason mathematically generate clear questions and find probable arguments reach substantiated conclusions and accept ambiguity ”
And we also hope you enjoy the journey
