Black History Month is a time to honor the rich history, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals throughout our history. The UMSON Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion recognizes the importance of this month as an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of Black leaders, educators, health professionals, and advocates who have paved the way for progress in education, health care, and society. By embracing the lessons of the past as a guiding light for the future, we continue to strengthen our commitment to working in UniSON. Together we commit, together we act.
Join us for these opportunities to connect with each other at UMSON. All students, staff, and faculty are welcome to participate.
