Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Respect (DEIR)

AGNR faculty and staff are invited to the 2024 State of the College and Cornerstone Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 8 at 9:00am at the Riggs Alumni Center. The Cornerstone Awards serves to recognize an AGNR faculty or staff member or an external partner in actively promoting awareness of one of the Strategic Initiatives who demonstrates innovation, and provides a model for others in the college.

Attend an event about Accessible Public Spaces and Gardens with Michelle Nelson, Wen Huang, and Chin-Fang Chen from the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning.

This carefully curated schedule of events is solely dedicated to topics related to sustainability and the role of agriculture in environmental, social, and economic issues, with a heavy emphasis on the food we consume in our everyday lives. The series is part of our strategic initiative, Establish a Healthy Food System and Ensure Global Food and Nutritional Security. This year's theme is Mental and Physical Health.

The evening aims to welcome you into the AGNR community and answer any questions you may have about becoming a Terp or deciding your future path.

Tickets are free for students admitted to the University and up to two guests (additional tickets available for $10). We will be providing food, beverages, and a special Terp-sundae!

The event takes place on Friday, March 8, 2024 from 6:00-8:00 pm (doors open at 5:30 pm) at Layton's Chance Vineyards, owned and operated by UMD alumni and current Terp Parents!

Join us for a virtual Q&A with faculty and staff from AGNR to answer the questions you may have as a new Terp Parent!

Join us for the next installment of MomentUMD Live: AGNR Conversations Around Grand Challenges, featuring Eric Reson, Chief Programmes Officer with the Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association. This installment on Tuesday, February 13 at The Stamp will feature a dialogue on international wildlife conservancy.
