Colleagues,
After 32 years of distinguished service to the University System of Maryland, Terry Cook, Senior Associate Vice President of Administrative Services, has decided to retire at the end of the 2022 calendar year. Terry came to UMBC in 2008 from the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), where she served as Senior Associate Vice President. Prior to that, Terry spent 15 years at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) in both Facilities Management and Procurement management roles.
Over her 14 years at UMBC, Terry has provided executive oversight and supervision to Facilities Management, Procurement & Strategic Sourcing, Environmental Safety and Health, Management Advisory Services, the Bookstore, and Campus Card/Mail Services. She also provided oversight for our dining services and CEI Arena management contracts and handled all real property matters. She is widely known and respected for her professionalism and integrity, attention to detail, extraordinary work ethic, and strategic thinking skills. Her ability to keep multiple projects on track is unmatched.
Terry’s expertise has also been key to numerous unique and transformative projects, including the transition of the Columbus Center in the Inner Harbor to UMBC’s management, launching the UMBC CEI Arena, facilitating the return of the District Courthouse property to UMBC, and establishing the campus’s first Enterprise Risk Management Initiative. Most recently, Terry played a major role in facilitating the transfer of the 175-acre Spring Grove property to UMBC. Her work partnering with the Office of the Attorney General, the Maryland Department of General Services, and the Maryland Department of Health to ensure the successful transfer of this property was remarkable. Because of Terry’s efforts, UMBC is well positioned for future development at Spring Grove.
Please join me in congratulating Terry for her outstanding career and thanking her for her tireless work for the UMBC community.
A search for an Associate Vice President of Administrative Services will begin immediately.
Kathy L. Dettloff, Vice President for Administration and Finance
