On April 29th, members of the UMBC community in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, will participate in UMBC's annual Out of the Darkness Campus Walk.

Each year our community walks to prevent suicide, the third leading cause of death among people ages 15-24, and to raise awareness that no one is alone.

The walk also provides our community with an opportunity to raise funds for Maryland's local AFSP chapter. With funds raised from the walk, AFSP can provide educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss.

There are many reasons to walk. At the event, participants will be able to choose to wear a selection of honor beads, recognizing why they personally have joined the walk. Let us know why you walk.

I wear...

  • Blue beads because I support the cause
  • Teal beads because my loved one struggles
  • Green beads for my personal struggle
  • Purple beads for the loss of a relative or friend
  • Orange beads for the loss of a sibling
  • White beads for the loss of a child
  • Gold beads for the loss of a parent
  • Silver beads for the loss of a first responder or military member
  • Red beads for the loss of a spouse or partner
  • Rainbow beads to honor the LGBTQ+ community  

It is completely free to register and participate in the walk. You can sign up as an individual or join a team.

For more details regarding the walk check out our events post.

About the Presenter:

Eli Gendleman (He/him/His) is a Freshman Political Science major. Outside of UMBC, Eli is a major sports fan, and his favorite teams are the Arizona Cardinals (Football) and the Phoenix Suns (Basketball). Eli believes that leadership is a spectrum and that everyone can lead differently. He believes people do not need to be the loudest and most prominent to lead people effectively. As an LPF(Leadership Peer Facilitator), Eli plans to help members of the UMBC community to find a leadership style that suits them. Besides being an LPF, Eli is a first-year Ambassador for SGA. 


About the Leadershop:

Leadership 101: The goal of this Leadershop is to help students to uncover their leadership style and, through simulations, incorporate what they learned into the world. This Leadershop is a fun and informative way to learn how to be a leader.


Ice Breaker: What trait do you think is essential for a leader?

Mediator: The most challenging part of being a leader is trying not to put a bias toward a particular person or group. As a leader, you are supposed to cooperate with groups and people to find compromise and common ground. A great leader can effectively mediate when groups and individuals are at odds.


The Leadershops series consists of 1 hour workshops that focus on various student centered leadership-related topics facilitated by Campus Life staff and Leadership Peer Facilitators. This program aims to contribute to the leadership development and ongoing learning of UMBC undergraduate students.
