- Erasable Inc.
Erasable Inc. is one of the University of Maryland's oldest student organizations, and one of the best known college improv groups on the east coast. The group’s weekly Friday shows on the UMD campus are described by the Diamondback as “part of a McKeldin ritual just as normal for university students as rubbing Testudo's nose for good luck.” [cite web
