At UMB, excellence is both a commitment and a practice, advancing equity and using evidence to improve how we serve our students, our community, and the public good.

What We Do

Data is powerful, but only when it leads to action. At IEIE, we provide data and evidence that help others across UMB make decisions and implement improvements.

Excellence for All, Grounded in Equity and Results

At the University of Maryland, Baltimore, inclusive excellence and institutional effectiveness are not separate pursuits — they are one.

The Office of Inclusive Excellence and Institutional Effectiveness (IEIE) helps UMB understand how it is performing and where it can improve. We bring together data, support decision-making, and work with partners across the University to strengthen programs, develop leaders, and create a community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

What We Do

Data is powerful, but only when it leads to action. At IEIE, we provide data and evidence that help others across UMB make decisions and implement improvements.

  • Equity, Inclusion and Compliance

    Lead equity, diversity, and inclusion strategy and programming across UMB to advance systemic change and ensure every community member feels valued and able to fully participate.

  • Academics and Assessment

    Support programs across UMB in assessing student learning outcomes, improving curricula, and demonstrating educational quality and continuous improvement.

  • Institutional Data and Reporting

    Maintain core facts and figures that tell UMB's story, providing students, leadership, accreditors, and oversight bodies with a clear, evidence-based picture of institutional performance and how we compare to peer institutions.

  • Accreditation and Compliance

    Coordinate institutional accreditation activities and support the compliance infrastructure that keeps UMB in good standing.

  • Budget and Resource Alignment

    Support data-informed budget planning and resource allocation to align financial decisions with strategic priorities and institutional goals.

  • Operational Effectiveness

    Collect and analyze institutional data to help units measure performance, benchmark against peers, and make informed decisions that strengthen operations.

  • Strategy and Planning

    Facilitate UMB's strategic planning process by supporting schools and units in developing, implementing, and tracking goals that advance the University’s mission.

Our Commitment

Rooted in UMB’s core values of equity and justice, our work connects the University’s aspirations to the evidence, structures, and accountability needed to achieve them. We believe that a university committed to improving the human condition must reflect that commitment in how it measures performance, plans for the future, and supports every member of its community.
