Our recent U.S. presidential election has shocked many and left questions about the future of our communities and nation. Student Life's Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity and Interfaith Center staff reaffirm our commitment to diversity and inclusion,  to productive, authentic and mutually respectful cross-cultural dialogue, and to positive social change-based education and equality for all. 

We stand by each other and lift each other up as one campus, state, nation and global community.  We choose to see differences across social identities - including political affiliation - as strengthening our community, rather than dividing it. Socially just education, inclusive learning spaces, and supportive communities are more important now than ever, and we encourage all of UMBC to commit and/or recommit to it with us.   

We know these are challenging times for all of us.  Now and in the days ahead, we must come together to reaffirm our values of diversity, inclusion and social justice - especially in support of our community members who may be feeling fearful and vulnerable.  If you witness or hear disruptive behavior, an act of intolerance, or other behaviors of concern on campus or in our surrounding communities, please following these suggested reporting options:

Help with set-up and event logistics during Election Night Register Now through this link!  

Every four years, the Student Government Association proudly holds the non-partisan Election Night Extravaganza as we await the announcement of our newly elected President, and to celebrate American democracy. The night will be filled with conversations and debates, games, music, prizes, pizza, and lots of balloons! Our goal is to make this election season an experience shared by our UMBC community where we all get involved and excited about political elections, and celebrate our democracy. 

Election Night Extravaganza is designed by, the SGA, in collaboration with (seb), Resident Student Association, College Democrats, and College Republicans - and we need your help! 

We are looking for volunteers throughout the night of Election Night Extravaganza in a variety of positions. Volunteers must attend the Mandatory Volunteer Meeting on 10/26/16 in ITE 102 from 12pm - 1pm, and be available from 4:30pm - 1:30am (there will be ample breaks, and you will not work the entire time!) at the event on 11/8/16.
