Welcome to ESSR

I am honored to serve as the Acting Executive Director of ESSR, building on my extensive experience in research and safety leadership since joining UMD in 2010. I look forward to collaborating with our dedicated ESSR team and campus community to advance our strategic priorities and foster a culture of safety, sustainability, and excellence.

Effective January 1, 2025 the Office of Risk Management will be implementing an administrative processing fee to register all Youth Programs and Camps. This adjustment is necessary to continue to provide UMD with the highest quality service.
