STEP UP AND MAKE HISTORY

1,867 minutes. One historic challenge. Will you step up?

The 1867 Challenge kicks off on March 11 at 9 a.m. and runs through March 12 at 4:07 p.m. — 1,867 minutes of giving to honor McDaniel’s founding year.

During these 1,867 minutes, alumni, parents, and friends will come together to show their Green Terror pride and support McDaniel students. Last year, gifts of $200 or less added up to more than $225,000!

Imagine what we can do together this year.

Changing Lives

Western Maryland College was born from the ideas of one man, Fayette Buell, who sought the support of many to make his dream of a co-educational liberal arts school become a reality. 

For more than 150 years, WMC and then McDaniel has thrived because of the support of so many invested in the success of our community. 

The 1867 Challenge is an opportunity to showcase the spirit of generosity that has made the Hill such a special place to live and learn.
