Welcome to the Jewish Faculty and Staff Association at UMBC
We’re glad you’re here.
The Jewish Faculty and Staff Association (JFSA) at UMBC is a welcoming and inclusive community that fosters connection, support, and shared purpose among Jewish-identifying faculty, staff, students, and allies across the university. Rooted in our shared values of education, community, and cultural heritage, the JFSA is committed to creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, mutual support, and collaboration across campus.
Our objectives extend beyond the well-being and advancement of the Jewish community; we aspire to contribute to the enrichment of the entire UMBC campus. Through our efforts, we aim to promote a culture of diversity, understanding, and respect among all faculty, staff, and students, thereby enhancing the educational experience and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone at UMBC.
