We often say that transformation is a team sport. That means it takes all of us working together–the USM Foundation, USM alumni, our friends, donors, and community partners–to achieve transformational change. From scholarships to academic programs to emergency funds, to new campus facilities, we are making an impact that will be felt for generations to come.
