Hilltop Society members James and Sandy Geest ’72 pose with Dr. Hrabowski at the reception.

Members of UMBC’s Hilltop Society gathered this month in the Black Box Theatre of the new Performing Arts and Humanities Building to celebrate their commitment to UMBC.

Established in 2012, The Hilltop Society recognizes the many friends, corporations, and foundations who contribute $1,000 or more annually to UMBC. Members of The Hilltop Society have chosen to make UMBC one of their philanthropic priorities, and we are grateful for this show of support. These donors are critical to the success of the University, creating unique educational opportunities for our students and enhancing UMBC’s reputation as a research institution.

Thank you to all of our Hilltop Society Members for all you do to make UMBC amazing!  Learn more about the Hilltop Society here.
