The University System of Maryland will name its Center for Academic Innovation in honor of its retiring chancellor William E. “Brit” Kirwan.
The center will take on its new name, William E. Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation, when Kirwan steps down June 30 after 12 years as the university system’s top administrator. University officials announced the name and $3 million raised to support the center at a recent gala honoring Kirwan. The center is located at USM's offices in Adelphi.
