History
Dean Adele Hagner Stamp, educator and community leader, was born in Catonsville, Maryland. She received her bachelor's degree from Tulane University, her master's degree from the University of Maryland, and did additional graduate work at Catholic and American Universities. In 1922, Stamp was offered a one-year contract as the Dean of Women at the University of Maryland. By the end of two years, she knew that she wanted this to be her life's work. For the next 38 years until her retirement in 1960, she served as the University's Dean of Women. At her retirement in 1960, Stamp received the title of Dean of Women Emeritus from the University's Board of Regents. She was the first woman to receive the title of emeritus which is the highest honor awarded a faculty member. Some years later, in 1983, the Board of Regents named the student union building at the College Park campus the Adele H. Stamp Union in recognition of her extraordinary contributions to the University.
