Restorative Practices Training – Registration Now Open! Build community. Strengthen connection. Lead with intention.

Winter Break (Jan 6 & 7) & Spring Break (Mar 19 & 20)
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Over the past decade, nearly 700 UMBC staff, faculty, and students have participated in UMBC's two-day Restorative Practices Training—consistently describing it as both personally and professionally transformative.

Whether you work with students, lead teams, support community spaces, or want to strengthen communication and conflict-resolution skills, this training offers tools you can use every day.

Restorative Practices help with:
• Building community in residential, academic, and workplace settings
• Addressing conflict in student orgs, staff teams, and roommate situations
• Strengthening resilience and communication
• Developing mindsets and practices that support leadership during challenging moments

Training Dates:
 Winter Break: January 6 & 7
 Spring Break: March 19 & 20
Choose either two-day session.

If you've never attended a restorative practices workshop, you should register!
If you have attended, please consider encouraging a colleague, student, or someone on your team to join.

Dear graduate students and postdocs at UMBC,

The Graduate School at UMBC and the PROMISE program are partnering this year to host our Annual Fall Harvest Dinner and Networking event on Friday, November 21, 2025 from 6PM to 8PM in person on the UMBC campus in the Commons Building, 3rd floor, Skylight Room. 

We call this even a Fall Harvest Dinner to celebrate all that has been planted, sowed, and harvested this past year - in reality and symbolically. Of course, our event occurs very close to November when many American families celebrate a "Thanksgiving" meal. The Thanksgiving tradition often includes sharing food and verbal expressions of gratitude for what we have in our lives. Our PROMISE staff understands that this national holiday also has roots in a darker history, one of colonialism and the massacre of hundreds and thousands of indigenous Americans. Thus, we will be choosing to incorporate some non-traditional elements into out Fall Harvest celebration: we will pay our respects to the indigenous peoples of this land and their beautiful, deep connection to mother nature and celebrate the diversity of our community. We hope this time together will be an opportunity to connect with grad students and postdocs from other departments and share a delicious dinner with our peers. We hope you are available to join us!

Please make sure to RSVP. The dress code for this occasion is business casual. Bring your UMBC student ID to enter the event!

 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at promise@umbc.edu.

Sincerely, 
The PROMISE team

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
