*Repost* Celebrating Black History Month Inclusively
Repost from (The) Office of Student Disability Services
Black and DisAbility history are intertwined: learn more...
Accessibility and Disability Service and Student Disability Services highlight Black History Month.
Rediscover how some members of the Black Civil Rights Movement also played essential roles as activists in the US Disability Rights Movement, and paved the way for disability rights activists to influence social change and legislation. Many people with disabilities were part of both movements and continue to be today. Crip Camp shows how intersectional being black and disabled can be - beyond the Black Panthers. Further back in history, learn new things about the famous Black figures who also had disabilities. For instance, Harriet Tubman lived with epilepsy and narcolepsy.
In the links described below, we hope you may find information you will be happy to rediscover or learn for the first time. Black history is being made this moment, and there is an endless amount to learn from the past. A little time spent exploring Black history this month may lead you in enlightening directions. Research forays have been known to start at (link)Brad Lomax, and end up at the (link) Wild Zappers, a DC-based all black all deaf dance company - what new-to-you ancestral influencers and history-makers will become front-of-mind to you?
Test your knowledge by taking this quiz with the National Black Disability Coalition (NBDC): (link)http://www.blackdisability.org/content/black-disabled-trivia
Important figures in Black History:
· Enter “Black History” plus any disability (i.e. "autism," "dyslexia," etc.) into a search engine and explore more about the intersectionality of disability.
Explore Black History and Disability Rights:
The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has a great article about the integral role Black disability rights activists played in securing rights for all US citizens with disabilities. (link)https://www.ncld.org/news/honoring-black-history-month-unsung-heroes-of-the-disability-rights-movement/ For more on Brad Lomax, a leader in the 1977 protests that led to the implementation of section 504 of the rehabilitation act, see this NYT obituary (link) https:/www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/obituaries/brad-lomax-overlooked.html
Black Disabled and Proud: College Students with Disabilities is a website by the HBCU Disability Consortium. Their page titled “Black Lives Matter and Disability” speaks to the recent and daily making of Black history as it intersects with disability. (link)https://www.blackdisabledandproud.org/black-lives-matter.html The page includes links to thoughtful articles as well as self-care info.
The Disability Visibility Project’s Black Lives Matter page has podcasts (with transcripts) that explore the individual experiences of people who are actively contributing individually and/or organizing to raise awareness about being Black and having a disability. (link)https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/tag/black-lives-matter/ Click through on the posts and find things like Jen White Johnson’s Black Disability Lives Matter mural (link)https://jenwhitejohnson.com/Black-Disabled-Lives-Matter-Mural-Project
More UMBC posts and events are going up over the course of the month. If you are looking for disability resources - use these links:

Intern of the Week: Joe Fleming for Mechanical Engineering!
Check out Joe's internship with Northrop Grumman!
Name: Joe Fleming
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Northrop Grumman
Position Title: Quality Engineer
Major or Program: Mechanical engineering
Current Class Level: Senior
Work Term: Summer 2020 and 2021
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
Mainly Inspection based and paperwork that is a low enough level for interns to be able to do.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I was able to obtain my internship from the BEYA STEM career fair and it was mainly a success due to the in person aspect that let me physically talk to them and gain that personal connection that is now tough to do.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
Witnessing how the real engineering world works and how actual engineers handle their work and lives. It’s very interesting to see from the other side.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I always strived to do work and be better. My previous employers really loved how I always asked questions, didn’t act like I knew everything, and always wanted to do more.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Be able to talk to the recruiters and try to be able to have that social physical connection. Also be down to earth and willing to do things that you may not have at the top or your list.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
When I had my Northrop interview, my interviewer loved that when he asked “what do you want to do?” I gave a list of things I wanted to do but also emphasized that I am not going to be picky as a student just trying to get my foot in the door. I knew once I got a chance I could show them what I do for the company as far as respect, communication, and quality work.

Spring Opening COVID-19 Update
KEY POINTS
Our early testing results show a promising trend.
Thank you for complying with masking, testing, and other safety protocols.
If you need help, please reach out.
Dear UMBC Community,
We are writing to express our appreciation of your efforts to comply with current campus health and safety protocols by getting a COVID-19 booster, physical distancing, completing an entry COVID test, and wearing high quality KN95 masks indoors. If you need any more information about any of these requirements please visit our COVID-19 website.
As a result of your commitment to the health and safety of our community, we are seeing promising trends both across the state and at UMBC. Early test results indicate that we are effectively minimizing transmission on campus, and our weekend testing positivity rate was below 1%. Please continue to stay home if you are sick, and if you test positive for COVID-19, review this guidance.
We strongly encourage you to get a booster shot as soon as you are eligible. Many community members took advantage of our on-campus vaccine clinics and we are planning on offering more clinics. We also encourage you to reach out to local pharmacies to schedule your booster shot. Our experts assure us that remaining up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination is the single most important step in preventing severe illness.
Please know that while our current safety measures are essential we understand that they can be challenging for some. We do not anticipate they will last forever and our teams meet every week to evaluate the current situation and the necessary safety protocols. We hope that if we continue to observe low testing positivity rates on campus, it may be possible to release some of the current restrictions, especially in regards to masking protocols and closures in our campus residential communities.
Finally, we know that the continued pandemic continues to be challenging, especially for our mental health. Please reach out if you need help. Undergraduate and Graduate students can connect with Retriever Integrated Health and the Academic Success Center for both personal and academic support. Faculty and staff can access our Employee Assistance Program. You can also email covid19@umbc.edu for more information.
