Over the next 36 hours the UMBC community is coming together for our annual Giving Day. This is a community-wide effort where we contribute to initiatives, departments, programs and so much more to support the amazing things happening on our campus.

 

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) is a new department on campus, but is composed of diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice work that has been happening on UMBC’s campus for over 20 years. i3b helps students, staff, faculty & alumni develop the knowledge, awareness and skills necessary to cultivate an inclusive campus community, while creating spaces for students to get connected and find belonging. You may be most familiar with our three cultural centers – The Mosaic, Interfaith and Pride Centers, where students are able to find a home away from home as connected to these important identities. Along with our identity-based student focused programming, we have expanded our work to include the Interact Dialogues Program, OCA Mocha Mondays: Diversity Dialogues with i3b, and Workshop Wednesdays series.

 

Your generous donations will allow us to continue growing and expanding the ways we work with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. If you are passionate about social justice on our campus and beyond, and are committed to cultivating an inclusive campus environment for all, please consider donating to i3b. You can make your tax-deductible donation by clicking HERE. Thank you for your gift of any amount!

 

You can continue to stay connected with us via myUMBC, Instagram and Facebook.

 

Thank you for thinking of us and for your ongoing commitment to creating a more socially just future.
