Dedication ceremony for George and Betsy Sherman Hall

Description
An account of the resource
The Robert and Jane Meyerhoff Chemistry Building and and the Janet and Walter Sondheim Hall were both dedicated in 2005 to honor two families that have served as long-time supporters and benefactors for UMBC. Academic IV - one of the least popular names for a building in UMBC’s history - was finally renamed the George and Betsy Sherman Hall in 2013. Other named spaces on campus include the Martin Schwartz Hall in the Biological Sciences building, the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, the Richard Roberts Seminar Room in the Library, and the Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall in the Performing Arts and Humanities building.
Erickson Hall, a dormitory that opened in 1998, was named by the Erickson Foundation; due to a unique ownership agreement with the State of Maryland, the Erickson Foundation funded the construction of the building and manages the building. UMBC leases the land to Erickson, and at the end of the 40 year lease the building will be donated to the University of Maryland Foundation.

First Annual Lavender Celebration

Description
An account of the resource
Although UMBC never had a segregated student body, whether by race or gender, our campus has struggled in many ways to increase its diversity of the student body. UMBC is now promoted as a diverse institution and this is part of the defining narrative of the school and a point of pride for many administrators, faculty, students, and alumni. UMBC has been recognized as having the second most diverse student body (Princeton Review, 2008) and as one of the top 25 most diverse national universities (U.S. News & World Report, 2012). What does a racially diverse student body mean at UMBC? During the 2014-2015 academic year, 44.2% of the student body self identified as white, 16.4% as African American or Black, 20% as Asian, 5.9% as Hispanic or Latino, and less than 1% self identified as American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Students that identify with two or more races made up 3.6% of the student body, while 4.8% did not self identify. International students were separated in this data and made up 4.6%. This data is distributed each year in several sources, including the annual Progress Report on Institutional Programs of Cultural Diversity, available through the Provost’s Office.
The first annual Lavender Celebration, honoring LGBTQ graduates and campus allies, was held on May 1, 2014 and was coordinated by the Office of Student Life's Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity. The Mosaic works within the Office of Student Life to promote and foster a community of diversity and acceptance on campus. In addition to honoring graduating students, honors are also awarded to departments and faculty/staff allies; the 2014 recipients were The Women’s Center, the department of Gender & Women’s Studies, and GWST professor Dr. Kate Drabinski. The Queer Camping & Leadership Retreat (Student Life) and the Spoken Word Comes Alive with Andrea Gibson (Freedom Alliance) were also recognized.

This data is distributed each year in several sources, including the annual Progress Report on Institutional Programs of Cultural Diversity, available through the Provost’s Office.
Diversity in the faculty communities at UMBC has continued to be a struggle. Faculty and staff at UMBC that self identify as white routinely make up about 70% of respondents. The administration and campus leaders have repeatedly tried to recruit a more diverse faculty, and most recently put in place several programs and initiatives to address this issue, including the Executive Committee for the Recruitment, Retention and Advancement of Underrepresented Minority Faculty, the UMBC OutList, and the UMBC Postdoctoral Fellows Program for Faculty Diversity which began in 2011.

An account of the resource
In April 2004, the Erickson School of Aging Studies was established with support from John Erickson, who gave a $5 million commitment to the school. The goal of the Erickson School is to become the preeminent resource for education, research, and policy on services for the mid-life and older population.” Erickson is a hub for research activities on long-term care quality, consumer direction, and other topics exploring the policy and sociocultural dimensions of aging in our country. Through the Erickson School and the doctoral program in Gerontology (housed jointly at UMBC and the University of Maryland Graduate School, Baltimore), UMBC students and faculty have been able to contribute and bring greater visibility to aging-related issues of both local and national importance.
