Global Legacy, Local Reunion: Overseas Marylanders Return to UMGC

Members of the Overseas Marylanders Association (OMA) reunited at University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) in Adelphi, November 14-15, celebrating decades of service to international students and U.S. military communities abroad. Founded in 1998 by former UMGC President Benjamin Massey, OMA brings together current and former faculty and staff from UMGC's overseas divisions. The weekend included university-hosted receptions and presentations, as well as an OMA-hosted dinner honoring shared history and global impact. OMA's enduring legacy includes the Dr. Joseph J. Arden Overseas Maryland Association Scholarships, supporting military-affiliated students in Asia and Europe.
