June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month
This month raises awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions that impact millions of lives.

Did you know Alzheimer’s currently affects over 55 million people worldwide and as many as 5.8 million Americans? More than 40% of all Alzheimer’s-related visits made during that time were from people between the ages of 81 and 90. The average age of patients was 79.  By 2060, the CDC estimates that number could reach 95 million. Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death among U.S. adults.

At UMBC’s Erickson School of Aging Studies, you can learn how to make a real impact in this field.

The Erickson School offers:

  • Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Programs

  • A unique blend of human aging, public policy, and management

  • Internships that provide hands-on experience and career exploration

  • A Capstone Project where students develop real-world solutions

  • Instruction and mentorship from world-renowned leaders in aging services

If you’re passionate about improving the lives of older adults, the Erickson School equips you with the knowledge and skills to lead the way.

Quick PSA:

For those who got the Atlantic Salmon from the FFM today (06/05/2025), please be mindful of a few things before eating.

If your salmon has a slimy or mushy like texture (it's floppy and not firm), any sort of discoloring ( a darker shade of the usual vibrant light orange/pink), or a noticeably stronger fishy smell thats pungant, or feeling unsure about it, please consider discarding it! We also don't recommend freezing it either for later use as that wont aid it either. 

We'll see you at the next FFM!

June marks National LGBTQ+ Pride Month and offers the nation the opportunity to reflect on the incredible contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Our nation is at its best when it welcomes, represents and includes people of all backgrounds. This includes people with disabilities and the intersections shared with the LGBTQ+ community. According to a study published in 2012, fully 36 percent of women in the LGBTQ+ community and 30 percent of men in the community also self-identify as people with disabilities. Learn more about the intersection via RespectAbility here, especially with Leah Ilana's essay on the need for safe refuge.  More  Disabled LBGTQ+ Profiles, in their own voices, are profiled here.

We celebrate with you! You matter! UMBC Resources include:

UMBC Queer and Trans People of Color (QPOC) 
oSTEM Group for LGBTQ+ Students working in STEM fields
Spectra UMBC for LGBTQ+ Mathematicians
LGBTQ+ FSA - Faculty and Staff group
The Pride Center is centrally located on the first floor of the UC.
LGBTQIA+ Resource Page via the Office of Equity and Civil Rights

Looking for your next feminist read? The Women's, Gender, & Equity Center has got you! We've curated a list of books for students, faculty, and staff to read at their leisure and boost their feminist knowledge this summer. Relevant to work that's happening on the ground and at UMBC, these books embody the principles that the Women's, Gender, & Equity Center seeks to fulfill. You can also check out our Summer Book Club here.

  1. "Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm" by Kazu Haga - This book introduces a philosophy of nonviolence rooted in Kingian principles, offering a powerful guide for engaging conflict and harm with empathy, accountability, and transformative justice. Haga blends activism, healing, and community care into a practice of "fierce vulnerability." This book is being read as part of the Center for Social Justice Dialogue's Summer Read program.
  2. "From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: Expanding Practitioner Knowledge for Racial Justice in Higher Education" by Tia Brown McNair, Estela Bensimon, and Lindsey Malcolm-Piquex- This practical guide challenges institutions to move beyond symbolic gestures by embedding equity and racial justice into policies, assessment, and leadership. It provides tools for higher education professionals committed to sustainable change.
  3.  "White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color" by Ruby Hamad - Hamad explores how white feminism has historically excluded and harmed women of color by upholding systems of white supremacy and colonialism. She weaves personal narrative with historical and cultural critique to challenge dominant feminist frameworks.
  4. "On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence" by Nicole Bedera - Drawing on ethnographic research, Bedera exposes how campus Title IX systems often protect accused students--particularly privilege white men--while retraumatizing survivors. She critiques the myth of neutrality in institutional responses and calls for equity-centered reforms that prioritize survivor safety, inclusion, and voice.
  5. "Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City" edited by P. Nicole King, Kate Drabinski, and Joshua Clark Davis - Edited in part by UMBC's very own Dr. Nicole King and Dr. Kate, this book is recommended for community members looking to learn more about the politics and battlegrounds in the city they learn from. Covering a range of topics, from environmental justice, capitalism and gentrification, to indigenous roots and rights, Baltimore Revisited is the activist's guide to Baltimore.
  6. "Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons From Marine Mammals" by Alexis Pauline Gumbs - Beginning as a pandemic social media campaign, Gumbs' unlikely comparison between Black women's experiences and the objectification of marine mammals creates an "emergent strategy," one that has helped many reimagine their relationship with change. This book is recommended for community members that are looking to engage with feminist materials for the first time, or those looking for a new way to envision change. 

The Women's, Gender, & Equity Center is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

Join the UMGC community for a fascinating conversation and moderated Q&A session with Grace Young, who is on a mission to save America's most iconic Chinese communities.

 

Growing up in San Francisco, Young spent many happy hours in that city's Chinatown, where the small neighborhood atmosphere and cultural richness helped to inspire her career as a celebrity culinary guru. In recent years, however, Chinatowns in many cities have struggled to survive and the economic realities of the pandemic have caused many businesses to close and populations to plummet.

 

That's why Young has added another title to her already impressive resume: "the accidental voice for Chinatown." Partnering with a broad range of food industry, educational, and media organizations, she is fostering support and positive exposure for Chinatowns throughout the country by focusing on how they came to be, their impact on the community, and the challenges of preserving them


About the Speaker

Grace Young is a multi-award-winning cookbook author, culinary historian, and filmmaker. Among her many accolades, she has received the Julia Child Award and the James Beard Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year Award, and was also a USA Today Women of the Year honoree. Often called the "poet laureate of the wok," Young has devoted much of her career to demystifying and preserving the traditions of the ancient iron cooking utensil for use in contemporary kitchens.
