UMBC Retriever Talks

UMBC RETRIEVER TALKS RECORDING

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.” ~ Margaret Wheatley

When an individual shares their story with the larger community, we can all experience what it means to make an impact. When we hear our organizational values reflected through diverse stories and lived experiences, we realize a sense of collective identity and belonging that is inclusive of multiple perspectives in ways that are powerful, palpable, and vital in promoting thriving workplace cultures.

UMBC’s third cohort of Retriever Talks took place on Wednesday, May 17th, 2023. The year’s theme was Revealing Our Common Unity in CommUNITY, where we explored community at the depths and the micro and macro ways that we can generate it from the inside out. Our eight community-selected speakers brought to life facets of our four core values themes: Reach Together, Extend Beyond, Claim Your Future, and Explore Every Angle, and invited each of us to meaningfully reflect, widen our perspectives and move toward inspired action as active co-creators of Our UMBC.
