Welcome to the University of Maryland, the Flagship institution of the state of Maryland and a major research university. We are pleased to be able to offer you this virtual visit to our outstanding university, especially since much of the early development of the Internet took place here. In fact, we are now pioneering the development of the ultra-high-speed Internet2. Here at Maryland we are accustomed to high speeds, whether on the basketball court or in the expansion of our reputation among the top major research institutions in the United States. Please enjoy our web site, let us know your thoughts, and come see us in 3D soon!
