Cultural Inclusivity Initiative
Flavors From Around The World
Hello everyone!
UMBC is full of such wonderful cultures, traditions, and flavors, so we're launching a special initiative to learn more about the ingredients that are meaningful to you!
For the month of April, we're highlighting West African and East Asian cuisines and will expand on different regions in the later months.
From 3/9 - 3/23, students, staff, and faculty are invited to submit common ingredients used in dishes from those cultures using our interest form linked below. Your suggestions will help us expand our offerings so more people can cook meals that feel familiar, comforting, and connected to home.
Together, we can make the pantry even more inclusive, diverse, and reflective of the many cultures in the UMBC community!
Sincerely,
The Retriever Essentials Team
