Giving Day 2020
Support Campus Life's Diversity & Inclusion area!
Campus Life’s Mosaic was originally created by students, staff, and faculty out of a love, conviction, and desire for UMBC to have a space that visibly supports its values of cultural diversity. Over the past 15 years, the work of the Mosaic has grown and evolved with the changing tides on campus, in Maryland, our nation, and across the globe. Despite these changes, we remain committed to creating spaces that advocate for social justice-infused, intersectionality-based equity, inclusion-based education for all.
We are proud to affirm students multiple identities by addressing the needs of all members of the campus community, particularly those who remain underrepresented and/or marginalized on UMBC's campus.
If Campus Life's Diversity and Inclusion area has impacted you in any way, please consider donating to us today, during UMBC's Giving Day, up until May 30, 2020.
Check out our
GritStarter to find out more about our student diversity & inclusion initiatives and make your contribution!
Thank you for your support!

February is Black History Month!
“If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.”
- Carter G. Woodson
These words provide justification and reasoning for the acknowledgement of Black people, icons, achievements, and culture that we observe during Black History Month. This month-long event evolved from Negro History Week, launched in 1962, to celebrate the emancipation and achievements of Black-identified people in the United States. Since then, it has become a cultural phenomenon that allows institutions to focus on an accurate and proper telling of African American history. This acknowledgement of Black history goes beyond slavery by recognising the luxuries, achievements and discoveries that Black people have gifted to the United States and the world at large. This annual tradition provides other races and ethnicities the opportunity to learn about the diverse and eclectic nature of the Black experience by introducing them to ideas, rhetoric, and notable figures that have helped shape Black identity and America as a whole.
The fact that February is designated as Black History month does not stop us from celebrating Black history throughout the year, but we have committed to spending this month to placing a spotlight on the accomplishments and stories of Black people. In years prior, Black History Month inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations as well as dramatically expand the consciousness of African Americans about the importance of Black history. It continues to do so even now as everyday Black people exist and are thriving, Black history is being made and celebrated somewhere in the world. Isn’t that just grand?
