How do we engage in democracy if we cannot vote?
The Women’s Center at UMBC advances gender equity from an intersectional feminist perspective through co-curricular programming, support services, and advocacy for marginalized individuals and communities. They prioritize critical social justice as our community value, with a deliberate focus on women, gender, anti-racism, and feminism.
The Shriver Center addresses critical social challenges by bridging campus and community through engaged scholarship and applied learning, to lead meaningful change through transformational higher education and community partnership.
Center for Democracy and Civic Life
The Center for Democracy and Civic Life helps people develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to create healthy communities and tackle challenges together. Their work builds from the premise that civic life encompasses everyday settings and relationships through which people can generate the power to shape their world.
