This site, born of efforts from the Staff Senate and the Inclusive Diversity, Equity, Access, and Accountability (IDEAA) Office, serves as a local directory meant to help members of our campus connect with communities on campus and beyond. It is important to help campus community members connect to their cultural roots so that they and the campus continue to grow and flourish. This a sampling of the businesses, places of worship, and other organizations in St. Mary’s County with cultural understanding to support Blacks/ African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander Americans, and/or LGBTQ+ affirming. There may be other businesses, places of worship, and organizations that are not listed. Readers are encouraged to assist the Inclusive Diversity, Equity, Access, and Accountability (IDEAA) in adding other businesses/organizations. Please contact Kelsey Bush, our Community Liaison, at krbush@smcm.edu or IDEAA at 240-895-2225.
