The University of Maryland School of Social Work's (UMSSW) Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Spring 2024 Affinity Groups are back for the new year.
Affinity groups provide an opportunity for those of shared identity to connect, deepen their understanding, and work toward common goals. While these groups are primarily geared toward UMSSW staff and faculty, anyone, including students and alums, is welcome to attend.
Our groups include: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), Disability Justice & Advocacy Group (DJA), Jewish, LGBTQ+, and White Accountability Group.
