About the Program

TerraPeers is a program housed under STAMP that helps new students integrate into campus life and immerse themselves in the UMD community. New students are paired with more experienced Peers, who serve as wayfinders and help new students navigate through college life. This program helps students to make meaningful connections and fosters a sense of community among fellow Terrapins. These connections open doors to what UMD has to offer for its students. TerraPeers gives both new and returning students the opportunity to forge meaningful relationships and engage with the broader UMD community. To date, TerraPeers has connected over 1000 students, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their interests and connect with fellow UMD students. It is our hope that through participation in the TerraPeers program, participants will thrive in their new environment, find their niche on campus, and find the people who enrich their time at UMD.
