The Jewish Faculty and Staff Affinity Group at UMBC is inspired by a shared commitment to cultivate an environment that is both inclusive and supportive of Jewish colleagues. Our core mission centers around building a vibrant Jewish community and establishing a robust Jewish faculty and staff network. This affinity group serves as a platform where members can engage in meaningful discussions about common experiences, provide mutual support, and collaborate on initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect throughout the university.
Our objectives extend beyond the well-being and advancement of the Jewish community; we aspire to contribute to the enrichment of the entire UMBC campus. Through our efforts, we aim to promote a culture of diversity, understanding, and respect among all faculty, staff, and students, thereby enhancing the educational experience and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone at UMBC.
