Gender Identity and Business Process Listening Session
Increasing inclusion of trans, GNC, and non-binary employees
The Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) invites you to join Training and Case Manager Ever Hanna (they/them) for a discussion about how UMBC can improve business processes, technologies and apps (such as People Soft and G-suite), and overall climate for transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary employees.
OEI is in the process of partnering with several offices across campus to continue to increase inclusion of trans, GNC, and non-binary employees. The feedback collected in these sessions will be reported back anonymously to appropriate offices. OEI is especially interested in hearing from directly affected individuals as well as hiring managers and payroll preparers from across campus.
These sessions are open to any faculty or staff member at UMBC:
Tuesday, February 16th from 2-3 PM
Friday, February 19th from 2-3 PM
Friday, March 5th from 10-11 AM (changed)
This session is open only to employee members who identify as trans, gender non-conforming, non-binary, or any other identity that falls outside of the gender binary:
Thursday, February 18 from 1-2 PM (The guest list for this event will be hidden and the meeting will be locked at 1:15 PM)
OEI will post a list of questions that may be asked during the sessions ahead of time. If you require additional accommodations to be able to access the meeting, please email EverHanna@umbc.edu with your request.
Note: The Office of Equity and Inclusion encourages any individual who has currently or formerly experienced discrimination on the basis of their gender identity or expression to report this discrimination through our online reporting form. Disclosures of discrimination that may occur during these listening sessions will not be considered reports to OEI.
The session facilitator will take notes, but these sessions will not be recorded.

Mitigating Harassment in Online Spaces Workshop (REPOST)
Women's Center: A Workshop for UMBC Faculty and Staff
Remote Learning for All: Mitigating online harassment in curricular and co-curricular spaces
Presenters: Virginia Byrne, Ph.D. & Juana Hollingsworth MSW, Morgan State University's School of Education and Urban Studies.
In our research we have found that most undergraduate students experience online harassment as both the victim and the bystander (i.e., witnessing their peer being harassed online). Few of these students, however, go to their professors or advisors when they need help. In this hands-on workshop we address why students don't turn to their faculty and student affairs pros when they are experiencing online victimization and what you can do to position yourself as a trusted helper.
- We'll talk about the climate and policies that fuel a culture of online harassment, patterns in first-hand and secondary victimization, and why these victims and bystanders don't seek your help.
- Then we will outline policies and practices you can adopt to educate students on online harassment, prevent it from happening in your spaces, and prepare a plan for when a student comes to you for support.
In short, students need us to be aware of and prepared to respond to online harassment.
Join us for this workshop by registering at this link https://forms.gle/JD2Zo4TMNUn39n9AA by Wednesday, February 17th. Only faculty and staff who register at this link will receive access to the event link.
Please note: UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors. If you have difficulties accessing any of the materials on our site or any of our events or discussions, please contact us so that we can provide an alternative format and/or remedy any accessibility challenges.

National Day of Racial Healing Letter Writing Campaign
Shriver Center Repost
OEI would like to promote this Shriver Center event happening today at 12pm. For more details and information, please consult the original event post shared by the Shriver Center.
"
The National Day of Racial Healing is on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021. This annual observance was first introduced by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on January 17th, 2017 and has been celebrated every year since. The goal of the day is to promote racial healing and equity through collective action. To learn more, visit https://healourcommunities.org/about/
As a Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Campus Center, we are honoring the day by welcoming you to join our letter writing campaign regarding the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Congressional Resolution, also known as S. Con. Res. 50. Introduced by Senator Cory Booker, this concurrent resolution calls for the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT).
Through our letter writing campaign, we encourage you to voice your thoughts on the TRHT resolution by writing letters to your senators. During the first hour of the event, you will have the chance to learn more about the resolution as well as the TRHT work that is happening on campus and in the surrounding community. The last 30 minutes will be an optional space for you to work through the thoughts and experiences that you would like to include in your letter with the facilitators.
We hope to see you there!

East Baltimore’s Lumbee Indian Community

She is creating an new archive to collect history of the community."Minner said the archive is not purely academic, but also an urgent project of reclamation — of history, of space, of belonging and the power of collective memory."

Annual Employee Sexual Misconduct and Harassment Training
Due December 11, 2020
UMBC and the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) are dedicated to providing an inclusive, equitable, safe working and learning environment for all community members. OEI thanks you for your partnership in this endeavor. Out of the work and advocacy of Retriever Courage, and our community commitment to preventing and responding to sexual misconduct and harassment, mandatory student and employee training was established in 2018. As part of our ongoing commitment to these efforts, and consistent with UMBC and University System of Maryland policy and State law, updated mandatory training will be assigned to all UMBC faculty and staff employees in the next few days and must be completed by December 11, 2020. The training consists of three parts and takes about one hour to complete. Sexual misconduct and harassment training is required annually at UMBC for existing, returning, and new employees.
In the next few days, you will receive an email from SafeColleges, which will include the technical information about how to complete the training. If you have questions, please take a look at the Training FAQ or email oei@umbc.edu. Thank you for your continued support in making UMBC a great place to work and learn!

National Coming Out Day
October 11, 2020
National Coming Out Day is an annual awareness day observed on October 11 to support LGBTQ+ people who "come out" -- when an individual decides to publicly share their gender identities or sexual orientation. First celebrated in the United States in 1988, the initial idea was grounded in the feminist and gay liberation spirit of coming out to family, friends, allies and the community. October 11 coincides with the Second National March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. October is also LGBTQ+ History Month.
