We are thrilled to name that the Pride Center renovations are well underway and will be completed this fall. While our physical location is temporarily closed, we’re buzzing with excitement about the incredible upgrades and innovative design that will soon be available.

Our programming and support services are still in full swing, and we’re eager to keep connecting with you through activities held across the campus. In the meantime, feel free to visit the Mosaic Center, The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being, and the Women’s Center for support and engagement. Be sure to stay up-to-date with all our events by subscribing to the myUMBC Pride Center group, where you'll find all the latest updates, announcements, and ways to get involved.

We’re also looking for passionate individuals to join the search committee for the new Assistant Director of the Pride Center. This is a fantastic opportunity to have a direct impact on our future, engage with our community, and help drive our mission forward. If you’re enthusiastic about advocacy and community-building, we encourage you to fill out this formand contribute to making the Pride Center an even better place for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’re excited about what’s to come and can’t wait to welcome you back into our newly enhanced space!
