The George and Betsy Sherman Center
The George and Betsy Sherman Center is committed to excellence in urban schools. Established by a visionary gift to UMBC from George and Betsy Sherman, the Center supports transformational education in four connected areas:
- Outstanding teaching. The Sherman Teacher Scholars Program develops STEM and early childhood educators who are skilled, passionate and committed to an excellent education for all children.
- School Community Partnerships: The Sherman School Partnerships program works with schools, families and community groups to create innovative, responsive, and effective partnerships that help students thrive.
- Early Childhood Learning: The Sherman Center engages parents, community groups, and schools to ensure that a child’s early years become the foundation for life-long learning.
- Research: The Sherman Center supports applied research linking the insights of UMBC’s outstanding faculty with the daily educational experience of school communities.
Please note: UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all students, staff, and visitors. If you have difficulties accessing any of the materials on our site, please contact us so that we can provide an alternative format and remedy any accessibility challenges.
