Update on the Work of the Inclusion Council’s Implementation Sharing the Team’s Final Report Dear UMBC Community,

I write today to share with you the final report and recommendations of the Inclusion Council's Implementation Team. The group's work was long in the making, building from the Inclusion Council's formation in June 2020 to provide advice and guidance to the Office of Equity and Inclusion. An Implementation Team was formed in April 2022 to carry forward the work of advancing equity and inclusion, and its final report was shared amid the presidential transition of last summer.

That report is now available on the Inclusion Council's website, and I encourage you all to read it. The report offers helpful guidance and perspective on the work ahead and a solid foundation on which to build, in particular as the Office of Equity and Inclusion evolves and develops under the leadership of Vice President Tanyka Barber.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to the Inclusion Council and the Implementation Team, especially Inclusion Council co-chairs Jasmine A. Lee, director of Inclusive Excellence, Student Affairs; and Carole McCann, professor and chair, Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies. Carole served also as the chair of the Implementation Team. Their collective efforts and dedication are helping to advance our shared vision for inclusive excellence at UMBC.

Sincerely,

President Valerie Sheares Ashby

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." ~ Margaret Wheatley

When an individual shares their story with the larger community, we can all experience what it means to make an impact. When we hear our organizational values reflected through diverse stories and lived experiences, we realize a sense of collective identity and belonging that is inclusive of multiple perspectives in ways that are powerful, palpable, and vital in promoting thriving workplace cultures.

We invite you to join us for UMBC's third cohort of Retriever Talks on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Our program is from 10 a.m. to noon in the Fine Arts Recital Hall and will be followed by a reception until 1 p.m. 

This year's theme: Revealing Our Common Unity in CommUNITY explores the depths and the micro and macro ways that we can generate community from the inside out. Our eight community-selected speakers will bring to life facets of UMBC's four core values: Reach Together, Extend Beyond, Claim Your Future, and Explore Every Angle. They will invite each of us to meaningfully reflect, widen our perspectives, and move toward inspired action as active co-creators of our UMBC.

Cohort III Speakers:

Dr. Ken Baron
Dr. Brittini Brown
Marion Emmert
Dr. Kathy Glyshaw
Lori Hardesty
Melessia Jasper
Justen Paden
Michael Paszkiewicz

This forum is part of the Maryland Matters Climate Calling project. In May 2021, Maryland Matters' founding editor Josh Kurtz stepped back from daily management of our nonprofit newsroom to undertake a project looking at the threat of climate change in Maryland. The project has yielded dozens of stories, including deeply reported analyses of state policies and a Climate Voters' guide during the 2022 election. Learn more about Maryland Matters.

UMBC's Retriever Essentials and Parking Services are working together once again for our second Food for Fines campaign.


What is Food for Fines? A program created to collect food and toiletries for UMBC students facing food insecurity. The program runs from April 3-14 with a goal of helping as many students as possible.


How does it work? From April 3-14, simply bring in five or more items from the most needed items list (attached) and we will reduce one active citation to a warning (the citation must be $40 or less). Previously paid citations are not eligible. All donations must be made at the Parking Services offices from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, by April 14. 


Don't have any citations? We are happy to accept any and all donations. We just ask that your items be unopened and non-expired. 


College is hard enough to manage without dealing with hunger. Your help can mean so much.


A little bit can help so many! Questions? Contact Parking Services at 410-455-2551 or email us at parking@umbc.edu
