Celebrate and Honor Black History Month
Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, & Belonging join in honoring, celebrating, and bringing awareness to our Black and African American community. We recognize the incredible impact and influence on our history and country while also celebrating the culture, families, love, and service of all Black and African American folks.
Per the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the 2023 theme for Black History Month is "Black Resistance".
For more information about ASALH and the 2023 Black History Month theme, click here.
Officially and nationally recognized as of 1976, Black History Month honors these great contributions while acknowledging all that has happened both past and present to the Black and African American community. The lives, culture, joy, and impact of Black history can be seen within all of our spaces and this celebration is not confined to only February but in special tribute.
Throughout the month of February, join in our UMBC community in celebrating with events and programs.

Graduate Student Support Group (Virtual, Spring Semester) Pursuing a graduate degree/Ph.D. can be one of the most challenging phases in an individual's academic career. The road to earning the diploma can be long and lonely. The Graduate Student support group is composed of graduate/Ph.D. students who want to come together to share the challenges and struggles of their academic experience. The group will focus on discussing ways to balance school & personal life, relationships with advisers and peers, and how to deal with the stress and anxiety of academic pressures while defining and pursuing career goals.
Day and Time: Thursdays 3 PM-4:15 PM (Starting February 9th)
The first step to joining any group is to complete a triage appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 to schedule. Due to licensure laws, online groups require students to be in the state of Maryland during group participation.
For general group questions, please secure message our Group Coordinator Lauren Mirzakhalili, LCSW-C, via the patient portal: https://myretrievercare.umbc.edu/

UPDATE: We Believe You Discussion Group Meeting Soon!!
Interested in attending? We want your opinion!
The We Believe You (WBY) discussion group is a space for survivors of gender- and power-based violence to build community among one another. This discussion-based program follows the Women’s Center Brave Space model to provide a welcoming environment and thoughtful community to engage in conversations focused on support and healing for survivors of sexual violence. This group centers the experiences of survivors and their allies, but all are welcome!
This semester, we are doing something a bit different... If you are interested in attending biweekly discussion group meetings (i.e. every other week), please sign-up below.
We will move forward with discussion groups only if we have at least 5 people sign up. Our myUMBC will be updated to reflect either the addition of meetings or a notice that WBY is on hiatus. UPDATE: We have received a lot of interest so rest assured we will be hosting We Believe You for the spring semester! Check out our events for the full calendar.
The deadline to sign up for WBY (Part 1) will be Thursday, February 9th!
Please note: you are free to attend/not attend the group whenever you'd like. Interest in the group and indication of preferred dates does not mean you are obligated to attend.
For the Spring 2023, we will be hosting a sign-up at the beginning of the semester and at the mid-point (around Spring Break).
Points of contact/co-facilitators of the group are Amelia Meman and Audrey Gatewood. For more information or to get in touch, please email
womenscenter@umbc.edu

Celebrating Section 504 at 50
Paving the way for disability inclusion and acceptance
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a national law that protects qualified individuals from
discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law apply to employers
and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal department or agency. It paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.
Why is it important? It has paved the way forward for independence and autonomy for people with disabilities with access to education, employment, transportation, public buildings - all those subtle but important issues that are fundamental to disability-friendly communities.

Retriever Essentials FAQs:
Q: Do you have [food/toiletry item] in stock?
A: Maybe! Currently, it's hard to predict what we will have, but we make an effort to stock toiletries, frozen meat and veggies, milk, gluten-free items, ready-to-eat meals, and even baby items as often as we can. We can't guarantee any one item will be available, but there's always a variety of items to choose from.
Q: What are the eligibility requirements to get food at The Essential Space, Free Farmer's Markets, and Food Zones?
A: None! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come. We know financial decision-making is complex, so come fill up or just drop by to check us out. We won't ask you for any documentation.
Q: If I get food and toiletries from The Essential Space, won't I be taking it away from someone who needs it more?
A: No, we have enough to go around. Our community has generously provided items to us so we can redistribute them to you to make your semester just a little bit easier. As a student and a human being, you're entitled to a filling and nutritious diet.
Q: How often can I come to The Essential Space?
A: As often as you want to. Welcome!
