President's Statement

UMBC is a great place to work because we know the difference our work makes. As we nurture an inclusive and welcoming community and support the professional development of our staff and faculty, they see themselves fully in our mission and believe deeply in the transformative power of education. Staff and faculty know their work serves both individual students and the public good. They know their work matters and that they are seen and valued.
