CRSP Launch

You are cordially invited to attend the launch of the Center for Religion, Spirituality, and Pluralism at UMBC. This will be a chance to pause and reflect on the work that has been done to support religious, secular, and spiritual identities at UMBC as we set out a bold, collective vision for what is next! 

Our theme for this year is "centering community." Come meet your neighbors from diverse religious, secular, and spiritual identities from across campus.

There will be food, swag giveaways, and more information about the Center and its role at UMBC.

We will be joined by President Valerie Sheares Ashby, Vice President for Student Affairs Renique Kersh, members of the UMBC Religious Council, and students who can help us celebrate and dream!
