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.
