<Title>Standing in Solidarity with our LGBTQ+ Muslim Community</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>We recently learned about disconcerting content shared by members of the UMBC community that uses difference to invalidate the life and experiences of LGBTQ+ and Muslim people. We know that our backgrounds, cultural heritages, race, religion, and other social identity group memberships shape and influence our worldview. We also know that while UMBC community members are free to articulate their viewpoints from any number of backgrounds or at the intersections of them, expressing those viewpoints are not without consequence - both for the person expressing those views and those who may be harmed by them. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Today and every day, we affirm our commitment to making sure that our students and their communities are seen, heard, and supported at the intersections of their lived experiences. With all that is going on already, we know that circumstances  like this can cause additional trauma, stress, and frustration. i3b professional staff are prepared and ready to provide one-one-one and group support in the coming weeks as needed. You can contact us here via DM or email (<a href="null" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">i3b@umbc.edu</a>) to get support. Additionally, we encourage our community members to check out the list below for links to resources and articles.</div>

    <div>We offer James Baldwin’s quote as a source of reflection: “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist."</div>

<Tagline>2020 Survey of the Virtual Exchange Field</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">We are excited to be featured in the Stevens Initiative’s new report, the 2020 Survey of the Virtual
    Exchange Field. The Stevens Initiative gathered responses from virtual exchange implementers around
    the world, resulting in data capturing 349 virtual exchange programs that connected 221,333 young
    people from fall 2019 through summer 2020. <div><br></div>
    <div>You can read and <a href="https://www.stevensinitiative.org/resource/2020-survey-of-the-virtual-exchange-field/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">download the report here</a>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <a href="https://www.stevensinitiative.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">The Stevens Initiative</a> is an international effort to build global competence and career readiness skills for
    young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa by growing and enhancing the
    field of virtual exchange. Created in 2015 as a lasting tribute to Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the
    Initiative is committed to helping to expand the virtual exchange field through three pillars of work:
    investing in promising programs, sharing knowledge and resources, and advocating for virtual exchange
    adoption. The Stevens Initiative has awarded 60 grants and, by summer 2022, will expand its reach to
    over 43,000 young people in 16 MENA countries and the Palestinian Territories, and in 46 U.S. states,
    Puerto Rico, one tribal community, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C.
    The Stevens Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, with funding provided by the U.S.
    Government, and is administered by the Aspen Institute. It is also supported by the Bezos Family
    Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates</div>
