Description

This series is geared towards exploring social justice needs for various marginalized populations. We all talk about how diverse UMBC is but, what does that mean in reality? How does it show up in how we communicate and interact with each other? When does celebrating diversity shift into inclusivity that creates positive social change in and outside our campus community? This series hopes to help us grapple with these questions. Join us for a facilitated discussion of these topics, voice your opinions, and hear those of your fellow community members.

The sociopolitical climate in the United States has once again brought up the question: "Who is American?" Join us in the Mosaic for a discussion exploring the history and construction of Americanness, its representation in media, and who is/isn't included in the narrative. All undergrads, grads, staff, and faculty are encouraged to attend! For any questions, please email Campus Life’s Mosaic at mosaic@umbc.edu.
