The Foundations Work Group will review five key foundational areas in order to determine how we continue to build a successful future for UMBC. The key areas are: people, resources, facilities, technology/business practices and environmental sustainability. A review of the current status of each area will help assess history, strengths, “pain points” and opportunities.
