Diversity Statement Workshop: Preparing for Academic Jobs Academia Job Preparation
Wednesday, September 29, 2021 · 12 - 1 PM
The Commons : COMM 331vent will be hosted in person at the UMBC Commons.

Original Post here 

As undergraduate and graduate student populations have become more and more diverse, institutions of higher education are getting much more proactive in their goals to hire faculty that are prepared to be mentors, researchers, and teachers who are inclusive and culturally competent (about time, right?). As such, many academic jobs require a Diversity Statement or a Commitment to Diversity Statement. This is a way for applicants to demonstrate they have the commitments and capacities to contribute to the institution’s goals of diversity, inclusion, and equity via their work (personally and professionally) and their lived experiences. 

Come learn more about how to craft these statements, how they are often scored, and ways you can do additional work NOW before the job market to demonstrate the values you have. 

Participation in this event counts towards your CIRTL certification. 

 Looking forward to seeing you in person! If you have any questions, please contact Yarazeth Medina at yarazeth@umbc.edu.

Note: Commons requires the use of a face mask inside of the building.

On Tuesday, October 19th from Noon to 1:00 PM, The Faculty Development Center is hosting a virtual discussion regarding the implications, inquiries, and insecurities of a "return to normal" and would like to invite CIRTL Graduate students to attend. Below is a snippet of the content of the discussion: 

"This session in the Diverse Classroom Series asks participants to reflect on the ways the "normal" college classroom in 2019 may have oppressed our diverse student body. Particiaptns will gain perspective on how the sudden universal need for remote learning "evened the playing field" for some learners, especially those with intersectional identities. Finally, this session will encourage participants to be cognizant of how they can challenge the meaning of returning to normal for their classroom(s)."

Howdy, my name is Alex Getachew (he, his) and I am the Veteran Services Graduate Assistant here at Off Campus Student Services
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Public Policy. I enjoy various hobbies, interests, and passions, such as choral singing, poetry, philosophy, volunteering (in and out of my community), making new friends, and last but not least, imparting corny humor to unsuspecting humans.
My goal is to offer student veterans (and students who are dependents of veterans) opportunities to connect with all the resources UMBC has to offer them. I endeavor to make you feel welcome anytime you walk into our office for any reason whatsoever. Whether that be to inquire about a specific issue, drop in to say hello, have a quick chat, or even to make suggestions for future veterans’ related programming.
I will be on-campus in the office on Tuesday and Thursday this semester. You can reach me by email - agetach1@umbc.edu or Veterans@umbc.edu


Hello, my name is Grace De Oro (she, her) and I am the Adult Learner Graduate Assistant for Off-Campus Student Services. This August I celebrated 2 years of working alongside the Staff in OCSS.
I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Public Policy and recently graduated in May 2019 from UMBC with my Masters in Public Policy with a concentration in Environmental Policy. I will be hopefully defending my dissertation proposal this year. I am currently focusing my research on nonprofit organizations’ resilience through the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as their relationship to government. I commute from Woodbine, MD (Western Howard County), where I live on a small  5-acre farmincluding cats, horses, a miniature donkey, chickens, ducks, goats, snakes, and many, many dogs.
I will be on-campus in the office on Mondays and Wednesday this semester and working from home on Tuesdays. You can always reach me by email - degrac1@umbc.edu or Adultlearners@umbc.edu
