Stamp Advisory Board

The Adele H. Stamp Student Union - Center for Campus Life is the community center for all members of the College Park campus including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The Stamp provides a central place for students and others to learn, socialize, and relax while coming to feel more closely connected to the campus. The Stamp contributes directly to the educational mission of the University of Maryland by providing opportunities and encouragement for participation in educational, social, and recreational activities. It also contributes to the success of student organizations and provides services for the personal convenience of the whole campus community.
