Saturday, May 2

Excursion to the U.S. Naval Academy,
Annapolis, Md.

9:00 am–1:00 pm
$35 per person, reservations required

Founded in 1845 by the Secretary of the Navy, The U.S. Naval Academy provides young men and women the academic and professional training needed to be effective naval and marine officers in their assignments after graduation. Our bus departs Davidge Hall promptly at 9:00 am and delivers you to the campus in Annapolis where you will be met by our tour guide—an actor portraying John Paul Jones, father of the Navy. The 60-minute tour begins at the visitor center (and gift shop) and includes a stop at the Jones crypt in the main chapel.



Campus Walking Tour
10:00–11:00 am

A new BioPark, Health Sciences Facility II, completion of the $500 million expansion of the hospital, and new buildings for the library, law school, dental school, and nursing school are among the additions to campus over the past decade. Our tour will corroborate recent claims that University of Maryland Baltimore has become one of the country’s finest health sciences institutions. Our final stop on the tour is the new Campus Center. The tour begins and ends at Davidge Hall.


Restoring Davidge Hall: An Update

With exterior restoration work completed, attention now shifts to the interior of Davidge Hall, America’s oldest medical building used continuously for medical education.

Complimentary Picnic
1:30-3:00pm
Davidge Hall

Whether you’re planning to travel to Annapolis or enjoy the land and sea tour of Baltimore, the grounds will be open for a family picnic in and around Davidge Hall. The complimentary event will follow a morning of check-in and campus tours and precedes the class parties Saturday evening.
