Affinity Groups

Our UMBC community supports a range of faculty-led committees and associations dedicated to improving the recruitment, visibility, and retention of diverse faculty and staff, and providing professional development, mentoring, and support to help them find success at UMBC.

In addition to their work with our campus community, members of the Faculty Affinity Groups have made themselves available to meet with candidates during their interview process. Below are protocols for Departments/Programs/and Search Committees to follow when facilitating these connections.

Please direct any questions or concerns to Amy Heffler at aheffler@umbc.edu.
