Diversity Statements for Academic Jobs

Future Faculty Series

Monday, July 11, 2022 · 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
The Commons : COMM 329
This event will be hosted in person at the UMBC Commons, on Monday, July 11 at 11:30 AM.

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. 

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

Note: Please keep masks in mind.
