The mobile hammocks pictured above are easily attached to trees, providing students a relaxation break on-the-go.  Maryland's campus is not complete without its squirrels. A variety of squirrels can be found roaming around campus; you might even get cut off by one during a walk to class.  A memorial stone for the late Rhonda M. Williams, former Professor and Director of the African American Studies program at UMD, is surrounded by beautiful foliag...
