Grounded in research on faculty equity, climate, and advancement, a Faculty of Color Network has been created to support the recruitment, retention, diversity, development, and overall success of faculty from underrepresented groups at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). The network brings together Black, LatinX, Asian, Multiracial, and Indigenous faculty from across the university to provide opportunities for community building, knowledge sharing, faculty mentoring, support, and collaboration.

Dr. Diane Forbes Berthoud, with UMB’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OEDI), in collaboration with President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, and the Office of the Provost, launched the Faculty of Color Network in the Fall of 2022.

For additional information about the network, contact the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at diversity@umaryland.edu.
