    <div><div><div><div><div><p><span>Interact is a 5-week program focused on creating an introduction to the dialogue skills required to engage in difficult conversations, dialogue across difference, and intercultural dialogue. Interact is NOT designed to be intercultural dialogue, but instead an introduction to the skills required for dialogue broadly. The goal of Interact at UMBC is to develop foundational dialogue skills such as critical self-awareness, listening and sharing authentically, asking questions toward creating deep connections, and apologizing and adjusting appropriately, while creating opportunities for participants to become more self-aware. As a result of participation in Interact, participants will have the skills to engage in dialogue within any type of situation (perceived safe or unsafe) and any topic of conversation (perceived difficult or not).</span></p></div></div></div></div></div>

    <div>
    <span>Moms and parents who plan on using the Women's Center lactation room, now officially named the Maxine Tracy Wellness Room, throughout the winter and spring semester are encouraged to sign up for their preferred reservation times. We are accepting reservations now. </span><div><br></div>
    <div>To reserve your time, email <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a> for access to our online reservation form. You can also stop by the Women's Center during our hours of operation to complete the form in person. All parents who reserve times will be added to the lactation room google calendar and a group email list in order to support communication and best navigate multiple people using the space. <br><div><br></div>
    <div>While the Women's Center works diligently with parents to ensure access to the lactation room, we're also pleased to partner with the Library which now also hosts a lactation room. <a href="https://library.umbc.edu/studyspaces.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">AOK Library has a lactation room available on the 7th floor. </a>The room includes a table, two chairs, an outlet and power strip, and sanitizing wipes.. It may be reserved for up to one hour, up to 7 days in advance. A key is also available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Check Out Desk on the Library's first floor. Reserve the Lactation Room for periods up to 1 hour.<div><br></div>
    <div>We also have an additional lactation room available on the ground floor of the RAC (room 073). This room has a sink and chair. This room is first-come-first-serve. The Women’s Center oversees the operation of this room. If you experience any issues or have any concerns related to the space, please contact us.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For questions and concerns, stop by the Women's Center during our hours of operation, give us a ring at 410-455-2714, or send us an email at <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a>

    </div>
    <span><div><span><br></span></div>The We Believe You (WBY) discussion group is a space for survivors of gender- and power-based violence to build community among one another. This discussion-based program follows the Women’s Center </span><a href="https://umbc.box.com/bravespaces" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Brave Space</a><span> model to provide a welcoming environment and thoughtful community to engage in conversations focused on support and healing for survivors of sexual violence. </span><strong>This group centers the experiences of survivors and their allies, but all are welcome!</strong><div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>This semester, we are doing something a bit different... If you are interested in attending biweekly discussion group meetings (i.e. every other week), please sign-up below. </div>
    <div><u><strong><br></strong></u></div>
    <div><u><strong>We will move forward with discussion groups only if we have at least 5 people sign up. Our myUMBC will be updated to reflect either the addition of meetings or a notice that WBY is on </strong><strong>hiatus</strong><strong>. UPDATE: We have received a lot of interest so rest assured we will be hosting We Believe You for the spring semester! Check out our events for the full calendar.</strong></u></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong><u>The deadline to sign up for WBY (Part 1) will be Thursday, February 9th!</u></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please note: you are free to attend/not attend the group whenever you'd like. Interest in the group and indication of preferred dates does not mean you are obligated to attend. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For the Spring 2023, we will be hosting a sign-up at the beginning of the semester and at the mid-point (around Spring Break).</div>
    <div>Points of contact/co-facilitators of the group are Amelia Meman and Audrey Gatewood. For more information or to get in touch, please email <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a>
