Microcredential Advisory Committee AY2026-2027 Orientation

Interested in the future of microcredentials at UMBC? Join us for an orientation to the Microcredential Advisory Committee (MAC) and learn more about how UMBC is working to strengthen and expand its microcredential ecosystem.

The MAC brings together partners from across UMBC to help inform the strategic development of microcredentials and support a thoughtful, sustainable approach to digital credentials across the university.

During this session, we will:

• Learn about the MAC, its purpose, history, and role in UMBC’s broader microcredential ecosystem
• Explore our work to date, including how the MAC has helped shape the development of microcredentials at UMBC
• Introduce this year’s three strategic subcommittees and the areas of work they will focus on during the 2026–27 academic year
• Discuss opportunities for collaboration and engagement across the UMBC community
• Look ahead at where we hope to take microcredentialing at UMBC in the coming year

Whether you’re already involved in microcredentials, curious how they might support your learners or programs, or simply interested in learning more about this emerging area of work, you’re welcome to join us.

All members of the UMBC community are welcome to attend! Faculty, staff, students, and extended community members — if you’re interested in learning more about microcredentials or getting involved with the MAC’s work, we’d love to have you join us.
