Diversity Abroad Resources for the UMD Community
 

UMD Education Abroad is a proud member of the Diversity Abroad Network, supported by Diversity Abroad, a leading professional consortium of educational institutions and others committed to the vision that the next generation of young people from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experience to be successful in the 21st century global marketplace.
