COVID-19 Policy Update
Dear Campus Community, We are glad to have our full community back on campus and are pleased that with the start of the semester, our COVID-19 cases have remained low and, reassuringly, the new sub-variants of COVID-19 are not translating into severe illness for most people. Over the last two years, we have been able to lessen the burden of COVID-19 within our community, thanks in part to our students, faculty and staff having received the initial vaccine and booster.
Equity & Social Justice Reading Series
The Equity and Social Justice Reading Series is a space for Maryland graduate students to come together and critically engage with current research related to diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice from across campus, particularly from our black and brown faculty and students. Articles are pre-selected and shared in advance of the discussion sessions.
