Partnerships across the globe make University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) stronger and amplify its impact. UMGC in Europe recently modeled this fact through donations to the United Service Organizations (USO), the leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the well-being of people serving in America's military and their families.

In late February, the UMGC in Europe team contributed supplies-such as notebooks and pens-to help advance the USO's mission in Germany. The team is also offering volunteer support. Nancy Harcar, a military education coordinator with UMGC in Europe, worked with her husband, Brian Burgoyne, a USO center operations manager, to make it happen.

The partnership between UMGC and the USO is longstanding. Both organizations work alongside one another at multiple locations, reinforcing UMGC's dedication to serving those who serve and USO's commitment to supporting members of the military as well as their loved ones.
