Campus Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

McDaniel College was the first coeducational college south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and one of the first coeducational colleges in the nation. We strive to continue this tradition of social justice by committing ourselves to being a diverse and inclusive community. We are guided by our First Principles, which compel us to place students at the center of a humane environment and demand that we respect others and share responsibility for the common good.

Faculty and Staff Recruitment and Retention Plan

Our hiring plan recommends recruitment procedures intended to result in equitable representation of protected classes in the faculty, administration, student body, and staff. It commits all of us to apply the spirit of equality in the total life and work of the College. Through guidelines for enlightened recruitment, selection, placement, and employee development, the College’s hiring plan goes beyond equal employment opportunity in the effort to set an example for our campus and community at large. We realize this is ongoing, collaborative work.

We are also working to diversify our Board of Trustees. Click here to meet our newest Trustees.

Maryland Independent College and University Association (MICUA) Surveys

The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation in 2008 that requires each independent institution that receives State Sellinger funds to report annually to MICUA on programs and practices that promote and enhance cultural diversity. As defined in statute, “cultural diversity” means the inclusion of those racial and ethnic groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in higher education.

McDaniel College is a proud MICUA member. Recent MICUA Diversity Surveys are available for review below.

Description: Invisible disabilities awareness is for those of us who struggle with something others can’t possibly see, whether cognitive, emotional, or physical. It’s also for anyone who wants to be supportive of friends, family, coworkers, or clients who have unique, unseen challenges – and you’ll be surprised when you see just how many do. This light session on a heavy topic is full of eye-opening information, touching stories, tips and solutions anyone can use, and a bit of inspiration.

On Oct. 11, 1987, half a million people participated in the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It was the second such demonstration in our nation’s capital and resulted in the founding of a number of LGBTQ organizations, including the National Latino/a Gay & Lesbian Organization (LLEGÓ) and AT&T’s LGBTQ employee group, LEAGUE. The momentum continued four months after this extraordinary march as more than 100 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer activists from around the country gathered in Manassas, Va., about 25 miles outside Washington, D.C. Recognizing that the LGBTQ community often reacted defensively to anti-LGBTQ actions, they came up with the idea of a national day to celebrate coming out and chose the anniversary of that second march on Washington to mark it.

Erin Watley

During this session we will discuss some of the specific cultural diversity related challenges that we have encountered in our classrooms. We can examine how cultural identity has impacted individual student issues, collective classroom interactions about social hierarchies and power, or smaller student group dynamics, and then discuss how to navigate those occurrences in ways that are culturally supportive and affirming. We will go over some general tips for facilitating critical cultural exchange and addressing conflict, but the majority of the time will be spent discussing your own scenarios.

Prior to the session you will have the opportunity to submit your own example of a classroom situation that you experienced as challenging, or going particularly well, to discuss.

Faculty Retreat August 21, 2019 - Required for faculty
Julia Jasken, Provost; Richard Smith, Associate Professor of Sociology; Cathy Orzolek-Kronner, Professor of Social Work; Jim Kunz, Professor of Social Work

Restorative Practices is an emerging social science that focuses on the role played by authentic and collaborative communication strategies in strengthening relationships between individuals and enhancing social connections within communities. Research within higher education specifically has concentrated on the development of affirming methods to help students learn from their mistakes, set classroom policies, and meaningfully engage in difficult classroom conversations. This interactive session will provide an overview of restorative practices and share examples of how these practices can be used in our alternative adjudication process, classroom discussions about inequalities, and community building around the College’s First Principles.

Faculty Retreat August 21, 2019 - Required for faculty
Suzanne Nida, Director of College Writing

Values affirmation activities in higher education have been shown to improve student performance among students of color and 1st generation students even if included in a course only a few times a semester. Research shows that writing in and of itself is an affirmative tool tied to students’ engagement, which is tied to retention, completion, and success. Thus, giving our diverse student body the opportunity to write in all disciplines will facilitate their success. In this workshop, participants will discuss writing as an affirmative tool and be introduced to writing assignments and classroom strategies that will help build students’ self-confidence, foster self-efficacy, and facilitate engagement. Time will be allotted for participants to work with others to design low-stakes or formal writing assignments or values affirmation activities appropriate to their discipline.

Generation Z is defined as the cohort born between 1995-2010, which is the age group of our current “traditional” undergraduate population. They possess unique qualities that impact their performance as students and citizens. In this session, we will explore the characteristics of Gen Z students, what has shaped them, how they view themselves, and the way they work as students. Additionally, we will explore ways to bridge the gap in working with students of this generation while learning about strategies to motivate them. Whether you work with students, supervise students or just want to know more about our student population, this training could assist you in successfully partnering with this generation.

Diversity in our Academic Curriculum

Students must have an understanding of the world within and beyond the United States to develop into critical, sensitive, respectful, and compassionate global citizens.A McDaniel education is multicultural and international in scope. For this reason, students are required to complete one course with a multicultural focus, and two courses with an international or cross-cultural focus.

Multicultural: Multicultural education will give students an understanding of the cultural pluralism of American society. Multicultural courses focus on the cultures and experiences of diverse groups in the United States that have been historically subordinated or marginalized and defined by such categories as race, gender, sexuality, class, religion, and disability. Students must complete one course with a multicultural focus.
Global: International courses examine the perspectives and customs of cultures outside the U.S. or the relationship between the U.S. and foreign cultures. Students must complete two courses with an international focus. One of these courses must be non-Western—that is, it must examine the cultures of Asia, Africa, the indigenous Americas, or the Pacific Rim, either exclusively or in explicit comparison with other regions.

Our Academic Affairs division also sponsors trainings for new and returning faculty on implicit bias, micro-aggressions and various other topics that prepare our faculty to handle our diverse student population.

Student Organizations: Culture, Diversity, Gender & Sexuality

Muslim Student Association: The McDaniel College Muslim Student’s Association will focus on providing a place of peace, safety and community for all students, no matter their background; to the best ability of every member; strengthen the brotherhood and sisterhood of students through Islam; and find success both on campus and off by improving our faith in Quran and Sunnah (teaching, deeds and saying of Prophet Muhammad).
McDaniel College’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance: The purpose of Allies is to serve as a bridge between the LGBTQ communities at McDaniel College, and as a constructive forum where members of the McDaniel community can express themselves without binding claim to sexual orientation, thereby working toward the greater goal of the UNDERSTANDING and ACCEPTANCE of LGBTQ individuals in society.

An Inclusive Admissions Process

We realize that to ensure a truly diverse and inclusive campus, we must evaluate the point of entry to the college. Our admissions process is designed to identify and eliminate implicit bias and provide all applicants with a fair review. In addition to comprehensive training for admissions staff, we regularly review our admission policies and practices with the goal of increasing access. As part of these efforts, McDaniel has committed to:

A comprehensive and holistic review of every applicant that includes review of not just GPA but high school curriculum, out-of-class experiences and responsibilities (this includes traditional co-curricular experiences like student leadership and athletics as well as non-academic or co-curricular responsibilities such as work or taking care of a family member), letters of support and personal circumstances as revealed through essays.
A need-blind admissions process, where a family's wealth is not considered when an application is reviewed. At McDaniel, family income has no bearing on acceptance.
The elimination of an application fee.
A test-optional admissions policy, which allows students to determine if they would like to submit their test scores.
Utilizing applicant's Preferred Name on salutations in communications from the admissions office.

Additionally, McDaniel College admissions staff works hard to cultivate meaningful relationships with school counselors so that counselors feel comfortable advocating for students throughout the admissions process.
