In the midst of challenging times, the UMBC community always finds ways to support each other.
We’ve called on our GRIT to do great things.
Now, We’re Calling on You
Creating a UMBC Legacy
Meet James Atsaides ‘71, psychology. Jim is a Founding Four member, a management psychologist, a former Alumni Association Board of Directors president, a former adjunct faculty member, and a planned giver to the university. In 2023, Jim established the Dr. James P. Atsaides Endowment through his life insurance policy. But, most importantly of all, Jim met his wife Ardell Terry through his philanthropic work with the university. Recently, Jim took some time to reflect on his UMBC story.
