University Leadership

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, was appointed president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore in September 2020 after serving as interim president for eight months. 

The deans are responsible for academic affairs, administration, research, development, information technology, and communications within the seven schools and Health Sciences and Human Services Library.

Administrative officers are responsible for upholding the core values of UMB while maintaining and developing offices, programs, initiatives, and councils across the University.

The senate is a conduit to hear about issues from UMB administrators and leaders and pass them down to faculty members, as well as a conduit to gather information from faculty and pass that up to the administration and University leaders, so they can use the information to make UMB a better place for everyone.

The Staff Senate advocates on behalf of UMB staff with regard to University policies and procedures that affect eligible employees, work environment and staff morale, and issues impacting wages, benefits, and working conditions. It also leads many Universitywide community outreach activities. 

The Office of University Counsel oversees, coordinates, and manages UMB’s legal affairs. The office’s lawyers work closely with administrators, faculty, and staff across the University’s administrative units and professional schools.
