Join Campus Life's Mosaic and the Women's Center for the Women of Color Reception TODAY at 4pm in the Skylight Room! 

We're celebrating a new school year at UMBC, and we want to bring together UMBC's women of color students, staff, and faculty to snack, share, and network among one another! If you identify as a woman of color, you are invited to help build a strong foundation for the coming school year. 

This year, we are honored to host two keynote speakers:  
Candace Dodson-Reed, '96, Chief of Staff in the President's Office at UMBC
Yoo-Jin Kang, '15, Coordinator for Alcohol and Other Drugs in American University's Health Promotion & Advocacy Center.

Candace and Yoo-Jin will speak on the theme of women of color "Telling Our Stories." This year, we are inspired by the recent revival of the Telling Our Stories project, and hope to continue encouraging women of color to speak truth to power through their own unique experiences and perspectives.

Hope to see you there!

During this hiatus, we will offer consultation services for those who wish to continue diversity & inclusion based presentations in their departments/areas. We will consider a limited number of trainings/workshops based on staff resources and availability.

In addition, we highly encourage you to refer to our Fall 2019 Programming Calendar to see if those events, dialogues and workshops may meet your diversity and inclusion education needs.

If you have any questions, please email mosaic@umbc.edu or contact us by phone at (410) 455-2686.

Register by October 4th!
Are you interested in forming a Graduate Student Organization (GSO) this year? If so, please fill out the GSA’s online registration form by October 4, 2019 and this will ensure that your organization will be eligible for GSA funding this year.

Due to GSA’s senate restructure, GSO representatives will no longer be required to attend monthly GSA Senate meetings. GSOs are only required to submit two points of contact who will be added to our GSO email list so we can more easily communicate with you throughout the year. The structure of the group's leadership can be left up the GSO as well.  Please note that while GSOs no longer need to attend our monthly GSA Senate meetings, we welcome any GSO member to attend; you can find the list of Senate meeting dates here.   

After registering, GSOs can also begin applying for event funding by filling out an Allocation Request Form. All Allocation request forms will be reviewed monthly by the Grants Review Panel and you will receive communication from the GSA Community Liaison regarding the status of your request as well as instructions for reimbursement. 

This year, the GSA Senators representing the 3 different colleges (COEIT, CAHSS and CNMS) as well as the Non-Academic GSOs will be hosting town halls aimed at their college or group. Once we have set those dates, we will be in touch so you may spread the word to your peers and departments. 

Once all GSOs are registered, we will also offer training sessions to review event planning and reimbursement procedures, more information on those coming soon.   

Please let us know if you have any questions and we are looking forward to your participation this year!
