What is a URM?

URM typically stands for 'Underrepresented Minority,' a term used to describe groups that are underrepresented in a particular context, such as within certain professions, academic fields, or organizations. In the context of employment or education, URMs often refer to individuals from racial or ethnic groups that are less represented compared to their proportion in the general population. This designation is commonly used to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. It is not a specific job title, but rather a category used across various sectors.
