NEW THIS YEAR! Distinguished Professor of Equity in Education | President Murphy has pledged to match gifts to this fund, dollar for dollar! The College of Southern Maryland is social justice through education. It exists solely to provide programs and services that support the social and economic mobility of people in the Southern Maryland region. It is equity in action, and the root of that action is in the classroom, irrespective of discipline, in the interaction between professors and students. This is hard work and requires the continual support and professional development of excellent and committed faculty. One means to facilitate that professional development is through the Distinguished Professor for Equity in Education program. Once endowed, this fund will provide support to a selected CSM professor to mobilize equity programming for faculty, staff and administrators, students, and our community.
