Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion OEDI
At UMB, we embrace and are committed to diversity, and we value inclusive and just communities. We oppose discrimination in all its forms. Equity and Justice are part of the University’s core values. In addition to these core values, the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion works to promote and embody the values of collaboration, leadership, and excellence.
Employee Resource Groups
The Office of Inclusive Excellence and Institutional Effectiveness (IEIE) supports Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) as a way faculty and staff build community and connection at UMB. ERGs are voluntary, employee‑led groups that bring together employees across the university around shared personal or professional interests, backgrounds, or experiences. Through ERGs, employees foster engagement, belonging, and mutual support while contributing to a more inclusive campus culture.
