Dear UMBC Community,

Later this week, we will host two gatherings where we may reflect on UMBC’s successes and imagine together what’s next for our university. Both occasions call for participation from our entire community, and so I write to invite you to join me at the following:

Feedback on Middle States Self-Study
Wednesday, April 23, noon - 1 p.m. (virtual)

This gathering will give community members a chance to share feedback on UMBC’s self-study draft, an important part of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education’s accreditation process. Learn more and RSVP here.

Shaping UMBC’s Future: A Strategic Planning Conversation

Friday, April 25, noon - 2 p.m. (hybrid)
President Valerie Sheares Ashby and I look forward to sharing a conversation about the future of UMBC, and how the community can be a part of our continued strategic planning process. Learn more and RSVP here.

I look forward to seeing later this week for these important community conversations.

Sincerely,

Manfred H. M. van Dulmen

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
