Webinar Series: May 30, 2023 - Increasing Faculty Diversity Initiatives at UMBC & UMCP
Many universities are creating programs to increase faculty diversity on their campus. This webinar will provide an overview of two faculty hiring initiatives focused on increasing diversity and inclusion. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County's Fellows for Faculty Diversity Program was created to support promising scholars, artists, and creative practitioners, who are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in the academy and to prepare those fellows for possible tenure track appointments at UMBC.
Similarly, the University of Maryland, College Park's FAMILE (Faculty Advancement at Maryland for Inclusive and Learning Excellence) faculty hiring initiative was launched in April 2021 as a three pronged approach to increasing diversity and retention at UMCP. Learn about these programs and how they are approaching this important topic.
Presenter: Dr. Autumn M. Reed (she/her/hers) is Assistant Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs at UMBC. In this role Dr. Reed administers a comprehensive range of faculty diversity initiatives, contributes to program and policy developments related to these efforts, and works with administrators, campus constituents, and external constituents to advance UMBC’s commitment to increase faculty diversity and inclusive excellence. Dr. Reed has taught the First Year Seminar Exploring Orientalism for incoming freshman and transfer students and she participated as an instructor in UMBC’s inaugural Dawg Days Abroad Program at the University of Bristol.
