UMD Summit on Equity, Race and Ethnicity 2023

This year’s Equity, Race & Ethnicity summit theme, “Decolonizing our Institutions and Communities,” was born out of a desire to connect with and support efforts that are already ongoing at UMD such as the newly added liberal education requirement for Theorizing Race, Power and Justice. UMD’s Commission on Equity, Race and Ethnicity has hosted this summit nearly every year since 2003 — participants include students and stuff from UMD as well as community members from the Twin Ports.

This event will feature keynote speaker, Clelia Rodriguez, numerous workshops, breakout sessions throughout the day and will conclude with the play Mary Speaks written and performed by Angela Polite. Most programs will be presented in person at UMD and some will be available remotely via Zoom.
