    <div>Dear Students,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I am reaching out today to invite you to take the UMBC Campus Climate Survey. Students who complete the survey will have a chance to receive a $25 UMBC Bookstore gift card. <a href="https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1BoFiN6ZmoNGQfQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">You can access the online survey here.</a> The survey will be open from Thursday, May 2, until Thursday, May 16.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This survey is intended to gather information about sexual and gender-based violence on campus, your knowledge of related policies and resources, and your opinion about how helpful and supportive these resources are. The survey takes 15 to 25 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. You may choose to skip questions or stop responding at any point.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Content note:</strong> This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears after the survey and is available now on the <a href="https://ecr.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ECR website</a>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>By taking the survey, you play a major role in helping UMBC tailor its sexual violence prevention efforts and to improve campus response. The Office of Equity and Civil Rights will be reviewing the results of this survey and sharing what we learn with the campus community. We will incorporate your feedback to shape our policies and practices to promote a safer, healthier, and more welcoming campus.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>All students who participate in the 2024 Campus Climate Survey will be eligible to enter a randomized drawing for one of 10 $25 UMBC Bookstore gift cards. After completing the Campus Climate Survey, you will be prompted to enter your name and contact information in a separate voluntary incentive form in order to be entered into the drawing.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Nothing you report in the survey will be linked to your personal information. Your answers are confidential and will only be reported in terms of groups of students rather than as individuals. Your answers to the Campus Climate Survey are not linked in any way to the incentive drawing survey. You are not required to answer a certain number of questions or report specific experiences to be eligible to participate in the incentive survey. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you have questions about the purpose or content of the survey, please contact the Office of Equity and Civil Rights at <a href="mailto:ecr@umbc.edu">ecr@umbc.edu</a> or 410-455-1717.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thank you in advance for your participation! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div>UMBC has a strong tradition of very active participation in state and national elections, with high student turnout. This year, Marylanders will elect a new Senator as well as new state and federal legislators, and will participate in electing the President and Vice President of the United States. The Maryland primary election will take place on May 14, 2024. Between now and then, if you are registered to vote in Maryland, <strong>you can cast your vote on the UMBC campus</strong> by requesting a mail ballot and depositing the completed ballot in the drop-off box located in the lobby of The Commons.</div>
    <div><br></div>

Once you have received and completed your ballot, you can submit it by placing it in the official Board of Elections drop-off box in the lobby of The Commons (near the Campus Information Center desk). No postage is necessary. The Board of Elections will pick up ballots placed in the box multiple times each week.</div>
