UMBC Talks: Inclusive Excellence
Contribute your story, voice, and perspective
Inclusive excellence has long been a cultural touchstone at UMBC. Before now, we haven't had a definition or any other shared language to describe what we mean. This is your chance to inform our definition. Leaders in the Division of Institutional Equity have drafted a framework for inclusive excellence, and we want your input!
The framework aims to articulate our community's shared commitments in a way that can communicate our values, guide action, inspire new collaboration, and support the development and implementation of UMBC's next strategic plan.
Join The Centers for Social Justice Dialogue and Democracy and Civic Life for UMBC Talks, which are 90-minute, co-facilitated dialogues designed to support your engagement with the framework. Each UMBC Talk will be the same, so please sign up for the one that best suits your schedule. We hope to see you there. Come and leave your mark on this important moment in UMBC's history.

(REPOST) Cultural Inclusivity Initiative
Flavors From Around The World
Hello everyone!
UMBC is full of such wonderful cultures, traditions, and flavors, so we're launching a special initiative to learn more about the ingredients that are meaningful to you!
For the month of April, we're highlighting West African and East Asian cuisines and will expand on different regions in the later months.
From 3/9 - 3/23, students, staff, and faculty are invited to submit common ingredients used in dishes from those cultures using our interest form linked below. Your suggestions will help us expand our offerings so more people can cook meals that feel familiar, comforting, and connected to home.
Together, we can make the pantry even more inclusive, diverse, and reflective of the many cultures in the UMBC community!
Sincerely,
The Retriever Essentials Team
