Diversity, Inclusion, and Managing Bias Training

 Dear Faculty and Staff,


UMD has partnered with EVERFI to provide critical education and training to our faculty and staff members. As part of our comprehensive training program, you will be invited to complete two training modules:
  • Diversity: Inclusion in the Modern Workplace
  • Managing Bias
These modules are a baseline training as part of our educational training plan. 

I am committed to taking impactful and measurable actions to provide a safe and welcoming campus for all. Earlier this summer I introduced seven diversity and inclusion action steps to serve as priorities for campus this academic year. This training relates to action item 2. 

You will receive an email invitation and information about the modules by October 14. We ask that you complete the training by December 31, 2020.

Thank you for your commitment to Goal 2 of the UMD Strategic Plan to “advance equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and social justice within the campus community.” 

Sincerely,


Lendley C. Black
Chancellor
