QUICK LINKS
Greetings!
When the first UB class graduated in 1928, they began the tradition of publishing an annual yearbook known as the Reporter. The yearbooks were published continuously until 1975, the only exceptions were 1930 and 1936. Recently, the yearbooks were digitized from the holdings of the Special Collections Department in the Langsdale Library. You can now view a piece of UB history here!

Also, please watch for your copy of the Fall issue of the University of Baltimore Magazine which you should receive within the next week or two! It's full of information about developments at UB, in the community and with fellow alumni! We'd love to hear what you think of the issue. Your comments can be sent to [email protected].
