University of Maryland has maximized its first year in the CIC.



It's been a busy year at the University of Maryland.  

Even before officially joining the Committee on Institutional Cooperation on June 1, 2013, folks across the Maryland campus starting building connections with their CIC counterparts in labs, classrooms, libraries, and theaters.  

As highlighted in Maryland's new Think BIG! video, these connections have already had a high impact throughout the university. 

For example:
  • Maryland researchers will host a research forum with the head of CIC's Traumatic Brain Injury Research Collaboration.
  • Student government leaders are working with their counterparts across the CIC to lobby on Capitol Hill.
  • Maryland's Amy Marquardt has been awarded a CIC/Smithsonian Fellowship.
  • CIC Theater Schools are collaborating in commissioning and producing a play.
