REPOST: UMBC Talks: Inclusive Excellence
Contribute your story, voice, and perspective
Inclusive excellence has long been a cultural touchstone at UMBC. Before now, we haven't had a definition or any other shared language to describe what we mean. This is your chance to inform our definition. Leaders in the Division of Institutional Equity have drafted a framework for inclusive excellence, and we want your input!
The framework aims to articulate our community's shared commitments in a way that can communicate our values, guide action, inspire new collaboration, and support the development and implementation of UMBC's next strategic plan.
Join The Centers for Social Justice Dialogue and Democracy and Civic Life for UMBC Talks, which are 90-minute, co-facilitated dialogues designed to support your engagement with the framework. Each UMBC Talk will be the same, so please sign up for the one that best suits your schedule. We hope to see you there. Come and leave your mark on this important moment in UMBC's history.

means to be a UMBC Retriever. Using this framework offers a dialogic process for gathering community input on shared values.

Wednesday, March 11, 11am to 12pm: Your guide to living well in retirement
Retirement is a major life transition that can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. This webinar will focus on the human factors that can help add a new and exciting chapter to our life story.

In this webinar, employees get insights on:
