Congratulations to all our faculty and staff who were promoted this spring! We are proud of their accomplishments and service to the school, research and the discipline of public health.
We recognize that having more Black faculty members with tenure is important to creating a pipeline for advancement, rooting out racism and creating a culture where Black, indigenous and people of color can thrive at the University of Maryland.
