ALUM'S GIFT LAUNCHES UM CENTER FOR GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVES

NFL Player & Former Terp Madieu Williams Endows Center in School of Public Health

The University of Maryland School of Public Health and Minnesota Vikings free safety and UM alumnus Madieu Williams announce the creation of the Madieu Williams Center for Global Health Initiatives. Made possible by a $2 million endowment from Williams, the Center will be an outgrowth of a partnership among the Madieu Williams Foundation, the University, Prince George's County, and the Embassy of Sierra Leone. The endowment will provide annual support for the Center, which will focus on local, state-wide and global health initiatives, with particular attention to public health needs in Prince George's County, Md., where Williams grew up and in Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he was born.
