Students
On Monday, March 9th 2015, the African American Studies Department at the University of Maryland, College Park will host a discussion “Engaging Black
Diversity: A Conversation with UMD Students.” University of Maryland is a diverse campus with a
significant immigrant student body with nationalities from over 114 countries.
This rich diversity contributes to misunderstandings at times and
misconceptions as a result of myths and stereotypes. This discussion will
provide the opportunity for STUDENTS to engage with one another and with
faculty to talk about race, identity, class, immigrant status, and social
mobility amongst an increasingly diverse Black community.
