Retriever Courage Fall Gathering

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 14:02:03 -0400

A year ago, the UMBC community shared their experiences and concerns about the university's response to sexual violence. Retriever Courage was implemented as a response to this concern. Now, it is time to again come together as a community and talk about lessons learned, what has been done, and the next steps we can take together to make UMBC a safer and more caring environment for all.

Please consider attending the Fall Gathering on September 18, from 4 - 6 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom. During this event, the Retriever Courage Implementation Team and other campus partners will share a range of updates about the steps they are taking to improve the University’s response and ultimately prevent violence in our community. In addition, there will be a panel discussion where community members will have the chance to ask questions or provide feedback.

Release time will be granted for employees to take part in this event, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

In addition to attending the event, you can also learn more by visiting the Retriever Courage website and viewing the dashboard. This site will be regularly updated throughout the year to share progress and timelines on implementing the recommendations made by our community and the external consultants.
