The university will launch its month-long celebration of black history with the opening of an art exhibit Feb. 1.
Planning is under way.
The celebration of Black History Month represents the first action of the newly formed Office of Diversity Initiatives and Affirmative Action. The office will be the driving force behind future outreach programs, including Holocaust Remembrance Day, Women's History Month observations, and Diversity Week, a special celebration next September. Members of the Diversity Council, which will include representatives from UMUC Asia and Europe, will be appointed soon. University of Maryland University College 3501 University Blvd.
