Diversity Research Center Opens

The University of Maryland has launched the Center for Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education, a national hub for research, policy and professional standards in this field.

“We will engage with a broad range of thought leaders with expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education representing diverse communities, governmental agencies, higher education institutions and international partners to set an ambitious agenda for the development and distribution of research, scholarship and best practices,” said Roger Worthington, interim associate provost and chief diversity officer, and professor. “We will work with colleges and universities to think through critical issues and develop customized plans to help move them forward.”

He will lead the center, housed in the Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education Department of the College of Education, with Director Candace M. Moore, assistant clinical professor.
