<Title>Supporting Students, Staff, and Faculty During Ramadan</Title>
<Tagline>Ramadan this year starts on May 5th!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Ramadan is a month dedicated to fasting, spirituality &amp; worship, and charity &amp; community. It is the holiest month of the Muslim year and follows the lunar calendar. During this month, no food or drink (including water) may be taken from dawn to dusk Worshippers eat a pre dawn light meal, called <em>suhoor.</em> After dusk, Muslims break the fast with an evening meal called <em>iftar</em>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For the first time in 10 years, Ramadan will run from approximately May 5th - June 4th causing it to fall within the academic school year. This will impact Muslim students, staff, and faculty in various ways. In addition to being aware of this religious observance, here are five ways you can support members of the Muslim community this month.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Understand that Ramadan is a time of spiritual cleansing and reflection.</li>
    <li>Acknowledge Ramadan and Eid by wishing folks well.</li>
    <li>Be respectful of prayer times - many people are more observant during Ramadan and therefore may need to leave class, meetings, or other obligations to pray for approximately ten minutes.</li>
    <li>Ramadan includes evening programs that will require folks to be out late - check on your friends to make sure they get home safely!</li>
    <li>Check on your friends mental health and overall well-being.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>For more information on how to support the Muslim community this Ramadan, check out the attached handout from the Islamic Center at New York University and head over to the <a href="https://icjs.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies </a>in Towson, MD!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For questions about religious and spiritual resources, please contact Erin Waddles, Coordinator for Student Diversity and Inclusion at <a href="mailto:waddles@umbc.edu">waddles@umbc.edu</a> and Idania Ramos at <a href="mailto:idramos1@umbc.edu">idramos1@umbc.edu</a>. </div>

    representation from CNMS next year.<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>While we aimed for the deadline 
    for application submission to be May 1, it's clear that we should extend
     the window. If you're in CAHSS or CNMS, please encourage your peers to 
    apply to be a graduate senator.</div>

    <div>3) Serve on at least one university committee</div>
    <div>4) Other tasks as assigned by the Graduate <span>Senate</span> or Executive Council (such as following up on an issue or comment)</div>

<Title>New Study Reveals Almost Half of College Students</Title>
<Tagline>Couldn't Afford Enough Food in 2018</Tagline>

    Complex, May 1 2019</span></em></a></span><span></span></p>
    <p><span>“In its most recent study, the </span><span><a href="https://hope4college.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HOPE_realcollege_National_report_digital.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong><span>Hope Center for College Community and Justice</span></strong></a>

    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The study found that 45 percent of
    students experienced "food insecurity," which is defined as
    "limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe
    food, or the ability to acquire such food in a socially acceptable
    manner." This includes skipping meals and experiencing hunger due to lack
    of funds.</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>Working during college is not associated with a lower risk
    of basic needs insecurity, and neither is receiving the federal Pell Grant; the
    latter is in fact associated with higher rates of basic needs insecurity. </span><span>The </span><span><a href="https://www.complex.com/tag/study" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong><span>survey</span></strong></a> </span><span>reported that, of those who experience food insecurity,
    over two-thirds of them are employed.”</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>As national averages of food insecurity increase each year,
    Retriever Essentials continues to believe that food insecurity undermines
    academic success. Join our fight to tackle food insecurity in our UMBC students
    so that they can not only live more comfortably, but show up to class well
    prepared in a holistic manner. </span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>We encourage you to have conversations with your coworkers
    around basic needs insecurities among college students, not only here at UMBC
    but across the nation. What can you do to better support struggling students?
