“The whole point of Henson Week is to really create and foster a community of people who celebrate creativity and innovation across campus, and to that extent, it's sharing what you do, exploring something new, creating something different, having fun and being silly."

A Guinness World Record-seeking sock puppet party, new Maryland Dairy flavor and surprises top the lineup highlighting creativity and innovation.

Every year, UMD Veteran Student Life and friends from around campus gather to plant flags on the front lawn of Stamp. Each of these 2,977 American flags represents a life lost during the attacks of September 11, 2001.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks, and the tradition of honoring and remembering these lives is going as strong as ever. If you find yourself near Stamp this weekend, we invite you to pause and reflect as you take in this annual display.

Photo finish! Now-retired Director of STAMP Dr. Marsha Guenzler-Stevens stopped by for a photo op at the Jim Henson memorial statue with husband Randy and their sweet dogs Churchill and Ginsburg as Marsha left STAMP at the end of her last official day on the job.

We were also able to snap a pic of her with UMD Office of Family Engagement's Matt Supple and STAMPers Sharon Tharkur, Yvette Lerma Jones and family, Brandon Dula, and Kedric Elmore.

“There’s just one word: love. She exudes that in everything she does."

As we look back on decades of Dr. Marsha Guenzler-Stevens' leadership at the University of Maryland and STAMP, we feel truly blessed by the legacy of connection, relationship-building, and love that she leaves. And we know that, even as she begins her retirement and gives up the reins of leadership at The Adele H. Stamp Student Union—Center for Campus Life, we can still look forward to many wonderful conversations and heartfelt handwritten notes.

After 44 Years at UMD, Stamp Student Union Director Marsha Guenzler-Stevens to Retire in August

07/21/2026

Last week, we celebrated Dr. Marsha Guenzler-Stevens’ legacy of love with dear friends from near and far. There was laughter, there were lots of hugs, and, yes, there were a few tears and we reflected on Marsha’s 44 years at the University of Maryland.

As Vice President for UMD Student Affairs Patty Perillo stated at an earlier celebration, the director of STAMP is a “woman who leads with kindness and care, love and attention.” She has truly been “the heartbeat of this campus, the soul of this place.” She is a woman to genuinely celebrate as she prepares to retire at the end of this summer.
