NAFAC is a leading foreign affairs conference for undergraduate students to
discuss pressing global issues. The conference provides the opportunity for students to engage
with future civil and military leaders on the grounds of the United States Naval Academy in
Annapolis, Maryland.
This year's conference explores the topic, "Democracies Divided: The Proliferation of
Polarization." The topic explores how authoritarian states seek to weaponize modern constructs
against democratic states, and how democracies around the world are seeking to heal their
internal and external divisions in order to promote stability in the international community.
This conference will include FREE room and board and should be an incredible experience. Preference will be given to juniors and seniors with high GPAs (over 3.6), and those who have not previously attended a conference supported by UMBC, though all are welcome to apply.
To apply, please submit one concise paragraph including:
(1) current year and GPA at UMBC;
(2) why you would be a strong candidate to represent UMBC, given your experiences and/or specific coursework.
Applications should be emailed by February 15 to Dr. Grodsky at bgrodsky@umbc.edu.

A message from Model UN Vice President Eli Sharp:
Hey all!
It's been a while! If you are on this email list, it is because you have expressed interest in Model UN in past semesters. I have some very time dependent updates on Model UN this semester (
the application deadline is this upcoming Sunday at 11:59pm), so I won't waste too many words saying I hope you had a good break and are successfully entering your spring semester here at UMBC! As a reminder, we love any and all skill levels in Model UN, and we are by no means an exclusively "Political Science" club, so please do not feel intimidated by the prospects of being on the team just because you are faithful to another major.
This semester, we hope to take a select delegation of you to a very special conference. Hosted by NMUN, this international conference will take place in New York City from April 10th-14th. During the conference, universities from around the world send thousands of young delegates to New York for the week in hopes that they successfully arrive at mock resolutions to the world's most pressing issues, as mediated by a simulation of various bodies of the United Nations. Spread over 5 days, these committee sessions will be complemented by lots of free time in NYC to (safely) roam, eat great food, and make new friends. The week will end with the conference renting out a club in Manhattan for the "delegate dance". Yes, it's fun, that's why I put it in bold.
In order to assess who we would like to bring to this conference to represent UMBC Model UN, we have created an
application for the team.
Everyone (including vets and e-board members)
who wishes to be considered for the team must fill this application out. If you have applied in the past, this application will look very similar.
This application is due SOON! This upcoming Sunday, February 5th, at 11:59pm, we will close the application acceptance window. We hope to have the team picked and notified of their status by 10pm on Monday, February 6th (the following day). If you do not receive an email by that time, you unfortunately did not make the team.
Full disclosure: these next couple weeks will be fast moving, with a few deadlines (including payment, which we estimate will be around $200, but we'll get to that soon) and meetings coming up fairly quickly. We are super excited to get started on what we're sure will be a great semester of MUN!

UPDATE: We Believe You Discussion Group Meeting Soon!!
Interested in attending? We want your opinion!
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 Brave Space model to provide a welcoming environment and thoughtful community to engage in conversations focused on support and healing for survivors of sexual violence. This group centers the experiences of survivors and their allies, but all are welcome!
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.
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 hiatus. 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.
The deadline to sign up for WBY (Part 1) will be Thursday, February 9th!
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.
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).
Points of contact/co-facilitators of the group are Amelia Meman and Audrey Gatewood. For more information or to get in touch, please email
womenscenter@umbc.edu

Women's Center Lactation Room - Spring Reservations
Schedule Your Reservation for Spring 2023 Semester!
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.
To reserve your time, email
womenscenter@umbc.edu 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.
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.
AOK Library has a lactation room available on the 7th floor. 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.
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.
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
