Who We Are

We are elected representative members of the faculties from all seven schools that make up the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Those schools include medicine, law, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, social work, and the Graduate School.

Each school has four or more senators, with larger schools having more seats on the senate in proportion to the size of the faculty in that school. We also have a representative from the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL), the adjunct faculty, and the staff and student senates.
