Do you ever wonder who your students are or how their life experiences impact their learning at UMBC? This session is designed to help faculty address the needs of specific underrepresented groups on campus, including non-traditionally-aged students, international students, and student veterans. A faculty panel will share their experiences working with these students and provide perspectives on how inclusive practices can support these students’ success at UMBC. Panelists include David Di Maria (International Education), Jess Myers (Women's Center), and Meredith Oyen (History).

UMBC’s Faculty Development Center continues the Diverse Classroom Series launched in February 2017!
Sessions in this series are designed to help you capture UMBC’s strengths in diversity to create vibrant learning environments--environments that effectively challenge and support every student. During interactive sessions, faculty and staff colleagues will help you address challenges and explore key questions, for example,
- How can you learn about your classroom audience to better connect with your students and reflect on their learning needs?
- How can you make your classroom more hospitable for all learners?
- How can you handle sensitive discussions in your classroom?
- How can you ensure that students from different academic and social backgrounds and with different physical and cognitive abilities experience classrooms where they are welcomed, challenged, and supported?
- Faculty and staff who aspire to make their classrooms more inclusive of our diverse student population.
