Wed, 31 Aug 2022 09:31:41 -0400

Welcome to fall kick off at UMBC! We are so excited to start the semester in community with all of you!

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) helps faculty, staff, students, and students develop the knowledge, awareness, and skills to cultivate an inclusive and social justice-oriented campus community. In short, we provide student-facing diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice programming, leadership development, dialogue facilitation, and training, in addition to lounge and community building spaces in our three identity, inclusion, and belonging spaces across campus.

Join us for a few opportunities to learn more about i3b and our work on campus.

1. Join us TODAY for in-person open houses in our three identity, inclusion, and belonging spaces: The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity, The Pride Center, and The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being.
