At the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), our core values are more than words on a page. These values — Respect and Integrity, Well-Being and Sustainability, Equity and Justice, and Innovation and Discovery — shape our culture, guide our choices, and define how we treat one another.
This winter, we are focusing on UMB’s core value of Well-Being and Sustainability — the value that reminds us that we care about the welfare of our people, planet, communities, and University.
Together, we’ll take time to reflect on what well-being really means and how we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves, our colleagues, our students, and our shared environment.
Throughout January, weekly “values-in-action” challenges invite us all to practice what we have discussed and bring Well-Being and Sustainability to life across campus.
This week’s “values-in-action” challenge (Well-Being and Sustainability Question 8):
You can be a catalyst for others valuing Well-Being and Sustainability through your actions:
- Sustainability also means caring for the collective. What is one action you can take to promote a culture of care and well-being in your team and/or department?
Share your reflections and see how others across UMB are thinking about this value: Join the conversation here.
