Our Commitment to Diversity

The UMD Department of Materials Science and Engineering supports the mission of the A. James Clark School of Engineering in its effort to increase diversity of the department in all groups of students, faculty and staff members; to make the department a welcoming place, where all members of society are treated equally, with respect and fairness. We embrace anti-racism and support the growth of all members of our community to address bias.
