The theme is "Creating Inclusive Communities."

Tomorrow's (2/21/18) UMD Summit on Equity, Race, and Ethnicity is an all day, 30-workshop conversation on "ways in which we can work together to create more equitable communities on campus and in the Twin Ports."

But don't you wonder sometimes if the people who most need to attend a diversity workshop have no interest in attending a diversity workshop?

Incentives are helping resolve that issue.
