Dear UMBC Community,
UMBC remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment where every voice is heard and valued. The campus climate shapes the lives of us all and understanding our community's diverse experiences is crucial to ensure we are upholding our core value of inclusive excellence.
Last spring, our community took part in a Community, Engagement, and Belonging survey, led by the Division of Institutional Equity and its vice president, Tanyka Barber. We hope you will join us and the Rankin Climate team to hear results from the survey on Monday, February 9. The presentation will highlight what we are doing well and where challenges remain, helping us better understand the perceptions of our learning, living, and working environments related to sense of community, engagement, and empowerment across faculty, staff, and student bodies. The presentation is an important step in ensuring our university continues to be a place where all individuals feel supported and able to thrive.
Join in-person: The Fine Arts Recital Hall, 12 – 1 p.m.
Join online: Livestream available for the full campus community
Registration is required.
This will be an opportunity to learn, reflect, and ensure your voice is part of our collective effort toward a more inclusive UMBC.
Best wishes,
Jasmine A. Lee
