School of Public Health, University of MarylandStrategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion
2014-2019
The School of Public Health is committed to creating an educational and work environment that is rich in diversity, inclusive, and supportive of all students, faculty, and staff. We understand that a School energized by diverse perspectives and experiences provides a powerful educational benefit and enhances our teaching, research, and community service. We acknowledge and celebrate diversity in race, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, health status, physical and learning abilities, socioeconomic status, national origin, veteran status, and other areas of difference. We recognize that multiple diversity factors intersect to create unique individual experiences and seek to embrace diversity in every aspect of our policies, programming, and climate.
Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of excellence in the School of Public Health, which draws on the strengths of faculty, staff and students from the College Park and Baltimore campuses. To achieve our diversity goals, we aim to educate a diverse student body to become culturally-competent professionals and global citizens, to conduct pioneering research on health equity and diversity issues, and to provide service that enhances the health of Maryland’s diverse residents and communities.
The School developed a Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion that is consistent with the University of Maryland, College Park strategic plans, Transforming Maryland: Higher Expectations and Transforming Maryland: Expectations for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore Strategic Plan. The Plan was unanimously adopted by the School Assembly on May 22, 2014. To fulfill its commitments to diversity and inclusion, the School of Public Health Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion addresses six core areas: Leadership, Climate, Recruitment and Retention, Education, Research and Scholarship, and Community Engagement.
Diversity Goals, Strategies, and Responsible Parties
A. Leadership
Leadership is critical to building a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable School of Public Health. The appointment of an Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion and Faculty and Staff Equity Officers, and the establishment of a School Diversity Council are visible indicators of this commitment. The School’s Diversity Council, with broad representation from faculty, staff, and students, oversees implementation of the Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion and assesses progress in meeting plan goals. Leadership in diversity and inclusion not only comes from the School’s senior leaders and Diversity Council, but also from the ranks of faculty, staff, and students.
Goal A.1: The School of Public Health will provide strong leadership for diversity and inclusion in both administrative and academic units.

Strategies: a. Appoint an Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion (Diversity Officer)
and School Equity Officers who will work with the Dean, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, and Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education to lead, implement, and evaluate diversity and inclusion initiatives.
