UMSON proudly stands with the LGBTQ+ community in celebration of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We recognize and honor the contributions, struggles, and triumphs of LGBTQ+ individuals around the world.
Throughout June, we invite our students, faculty, staff, and community to join us in fostering a campus culture of acceptance, respect, and support for all identities. Let's commemorate the progress made toward LGBTQ+ rights while acknowledging the ongoing journey toward full equality.
Join the Office of EDI on Tuesday, June 18, noon - 1 p.m., in the UMSON lobby in Baltimore for a social hour celebrating both Pride month and Juneteenth. We encourage you to come wearing your most vibrant colors!
