Welcome to the alumni page. This page shows what Linehan students have accomplished since graduating from UMBC. And the page is also for Linehan alumni, to read about their old friends, and to reconnect with them. If you are a Linehan alumni and not listed, it is because we don't have any information about you. So please contact Dr.Kreizenbeck (kreizenb@umbc.edu) with news of where you are and what you are doing, and please contact him if there is a mistake in your listing or if you have moved on from what is posted. If you would like to contact other alums, that can be facilitated at the same email address. The following graduates are the ones we know about--it would be great to hear from more of you.
