Navigating Change and Cultivating Belonging √ §

The UMBC student population (and the broader higher education landscape) has evolved significantly over the past decade. Partnering with Jasmine Lee (Division of Institutional Equity), this session explores how we as educators process and adapt to these profound, ongoing changes. Together, we will examine the direct impact these shifts have on our community’s sense of belonging and identify actionable ways to foster a more inclusive, supportive environment for both our students and ourselves.
