October is recognized nationally as Campus Sustainability Month.

Anna Borgerding will join President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, to discuss what the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Office of Sustainability and its University partners are doing across campus to move UMB toward a more sustainable future. Join the conversation to learn how UMB is making strides to reach these goals and how your department can participate in sustainable work practices.
