After nearly 10 years, the University of Maryland has a new president. Dr. Darryll Pines, who has been at Maryland since 1995, most recently as dean of the A. James Clark School of Engineering, began his tenure as the university’s new leader Wednesday.
Pines’ son, Donovan Pines, was a member of the men’s soccer team at Maryland. In 2018, he was named to the All-Big Ten First Team and won a national championship with the Terrapins. In January 2019, he opted to forgo his senior season to sign a homegrown contract with D.C. United.
