Dinner with Friends programs bring members of the UMBC community together to engage in civil dialogue about issues important to them. Participants spend the evening in small groups sharing stories, learning about each other’s experiences, and discussing ways to move forward. Dinner with Friends programs are organized by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life in collaboration with UMBC’s Graduate Student Association, Resident Student Association, and Student Government Association.

- Building and strengthening community at UMBC during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
