What is the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium?

Under the contract, members of the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium (MEEC), which includes all USM institutions, can purchase software at significant discounts. The MEEC is an agreement among K-12, public and independent institutions in Maryland, started at the request of USM chancellor Donald Lagenberg. It is the first education consortium of its kind to work with Microsoft to create a licensing arrangement to serve the specific software needs of K-12 and higher education. The USM is the lead customer contracting on behalf of the MEEC, which currently has over 150 member institutions.
