Black Excellence Summit
Mentorship with the Mandem
At UMBC, community is our strength—but we know that for many Black students and staff, finding a true sense of belonging remains a challenge. It's time to change the narrative.
Join the Black Men's Society at the UMBC Black Excellence Summit as we move beyond societal norms to redefine what it means to thrive. Our session focuses on mentorship as a tool to bridge the gap between students, faculty, and staff, ensuring every Black voice is heard, seen, and supported.

When: February 6, 2026
