The Office of External Affairs (OEA) is the administrative division that houses communications and marketing, development and alumni relations, government and community affairs, resource manage-ment, and University events. Our integrated team provides support to the Office of the President, our professional schools, the Graduate School, and various UMB departments and divisions. In other words, we tell the stories of the remarkable achievements and discoveries made at UMB.

The University of Maryland Baltimore Foundation, Inc. manages and invests private gifts and/or property for the benefit of UMB, facilitates fundraising programs and contributions from private sources, and engages in other activities to further the educational, research, and service missions of UMB.
