Support During Recent Police Reports

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 08:34:39 -0400

Hello MTC club members!

With all of the recent reports of sexual assault/violence on campus as well as the release of the Title IX investigation, I wanted to be sure you all had access to various resources on campus for your safety. In times like this, it can be scary to navigate campus, but know that there are organizations to offer support.

UMBC has created a page about the recent investigation for Title IX violations. This page also includes a long list of resources on campus for students. You can access this page here! I will also go ahead and list some of the resources in this announcement.

First off, Reslife will have staff in the ACC lobby to support you from 12 - 2 PM today where you can just drop in for any students who are remaining on campus for spring break.

Our faculty advisor, Dr. Suzanne Braunshweig, is also a resource to any students. You can email her at sbraun@umbc.edu with any questions or concerns.

The Retriever Support Line is also a general hotline that will route individuals to appropriate support. You can call (410) 455-3167 or email at retrieversupport@umbc.edu for support. This will be available through Sunday, March 24th.

Other resources available include licensed clinical social workers, counseling services at Retriever Integrated Health (open 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM M-F, call at 410-455-2542), and the Women's Center (open 9:30 AM - 5 PM M-Th). Again, this page from the university provides a more extensive list of resources for students.

Finally, you can report any discrimination or sexual misconduct of any kind here, by emailing ecr@umbc.edu, or by calling (410) 455-1717. As stated by the university, "All reports will be investigated confidentially, impartially, and thoroughly, and we will take appropriate action according to our own university policies and the law. Discrimination or abuse of any kind will not be tolerated."

I hope you all are continuing to thrive during this time and are enjoying some time to relax over spring break. Keep being amazing!
