Dear Students,

The University of Maryland, Baltimore is committed to providing learning environments that promote the success of students. I invite you to complete this Campus Climate for Diversity Survey. We want to hear from you - whether you are studying in Baltimore, online, at Shady Grove, or another location. You can access the survey here: 
The information you share will help individuals from across campus learn about your experiences as a student and will inform the development of initiatives designed to positively influence the climate for diversity. You will be asked to share information about your experiences with diversity, inclusion, harassment, discrimination, and basic needs security. 

The survey will ask about your experiences within your school and campus.
  • When you see references to school, please respond based on your experiences within your School or program.
  • For questions that refer to the campus, respond based on your experiences with your School and the University.

All questions are voluntary and your responses are confidential and anonymous. We ask that you enter your umaryland.edu email address so that we can better understand student participation rates by School. The survey vendor will send the survey data and your email address via two separate communications - your email address will not be attached to your responses.

The survey takes approximately 12-15 minutes to complete. The survey will be open for three weeks, from February 12- March 4. At the end of the survey, you can enter your name via a separate website to be eligible to win a Beats™ product, a portable power station, or a Hidrate™ water bottle.

Responses from the Spring 2018 survey administered to students informed the development of a variety of initiatives. Similarly, the Spring 2020 results will be shared with the campus community and used to engage in action planning to improve the climate for diversity.

If you have questions about the survey or campus resources, please contact Ms. Courtney Jones Carney, MBA, Director of Interprofessional Student Learning & Service Initiatives, at  courtney.carney@umaryland.edu . UMB is committed to creating safe environments that are free of discrimination. Incidents of harassment or discrimination can be reported to the Office of Accountability and Compliance .

Every member of the UMB community plays a role in creating safe and welcoming environments. Thank you in advance for your assistance and participation. To learn more about the campus climate for diversity survey and efforts to support students, visit https://www.umaryland.edu/campuslife/ .
