Get Involved

To create a thriving, inclusive environment at the School, everyone take an active role in incorporating diversity, inclusion and belonging into their work, classroom and interactions with students and colleagues. To learn more or to join the DEIB Task Force, email Alana Hackshaw (hackshaw@umd.edu).

Enhance the School's diversity programming by suggesting speakers for events, lectures and discussions. We are seeking speakers who will foster discussion around crucial diversity topics, as well as reading material to further these crucial conversations.

Giving

We are committed to supporting research focused on issues related to antiracism and social justice in service to the School’s mission of serving the public good.

As part of the School’s commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and belonging, our seed grant program supports research related to social and racial justice, policy and equity. A committee comprised of faculty and staff within the School will award mini-grants for research examining these crucial issues. Funding for the seed grant program has been established through the Dean’s Office, contributions from the School’s Centers, as well as fundraising from SPP’s Alumni and friends.
