The University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion's Fall 2024 Affinity Groups are starting soon.
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.
