Welcome Alumni and Friends!

The Department of Entomology has evolved and grown substantially through our more than 100-year history, and our alumni are a large part of that story. We invite you to keep in touch, get involved, and stay connected to the Department and College of Chemical and Life Sciences.

• Read about Entomology's activities and accomplishments in our newsletter, and in our News and Events section.
• Visit the Entomology History page.
• Read about the College's activities and accomplishments in the CLFS online newsletter and CLFS news section.
• Find out what fellow CLFS alumni and friends have been up to.

We’d welcome your involvement in the momentum of the Department and the College. Here are some ways you can get involved:

• Give to the Steinhauer Scholarship Fund – In 2008, the Entomology Department established an endowed scholarship fund in honor of Dr. Allen L. Steinhauer (1931-2008), Professor Emeritus, Entomology faculty member (1958-1993), and  Chair (1975-1993). The Steinhauer Fund helps to support our graduate program.


• Take a TERP to Work! – Externships are a new way for students to visit your workplace for a day to learn about your day-to-day duties and get a taste of the job that they may want to have someday.


• Join the CLFS Alumni Association Chapter – Founded in 1995, the College’s Alumni Association Chapter is being revitalized and needs your help. All Alumni Association members are welcome to join! Contact Steve Silipigni, Associate Director of Development and Alumni Relations at 301.405.4324 or stephan@umd.edu.  Events such as tailgates, game watches, scientific presentations, and student mentoring programs are planned.
