DEI Council Mini-Grants Awarded for 2023-24

The President’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council is pleased to announce that the 2023/2024 DEI Council Mini-Grants have been awarded. We received numerous high-quality submissions from the University of Maine at Augusta community seeking to foster inclusion at UMA. This year’s recipients all represent UMA’s commitment to promoting the benefits of DEI initiatives across our entire community. We are proud to sponsor the important work recipients will embark on or continue this year with the support of a DEI Council mini-grant.
