As a member of the dean’s executive leadership team, Celestine-Donnor has a strategic position responsible for promoting and enabling an inclusive environment for faculty, students, and staff while championing organizational change.

    Grounded in pursuing social justice for minority populations and supporting equity in higher education, Celestine-Donnor is an experienced leader focused on providing strategic oversight for protocols, services, and policies related to campus climate. She uses her clinical and conflict resolution skills to provide individual and systemic trauma-informed outreach, advocacy, and support for all. Her extensive experience in developing, facilitating, and assessing professional development workshops, trainings, and programming designed to enhance the intercultural competency of students, faculty, and staff will be a tremendous benefit to the school.

    Celestine-Donnor joined UMSSW after working for the University of Maryland, College Park, where she served as a director in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. She is a proud graduate of UMSSW’s Master of Social Work program and is pursuing her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Baltimore.
