I am sharing the Women's, Gender, and Equity Center's calendar of events for IPV awareness month. 

They have asked if you could share these fliers with any colleagues or students who may be interested! 

In addition to events for students, we are hosting two events for faculty and staff this month. 

The first, on Oct 14th, is a gathering for faculty and staff who identify as survivors of gender-based harms to build community, participate in creating a shirt for our clothesline project display, and learn about UMBC resources. 

The second, on Oct 22nd, is a workshop on the importance of believing and supporting survivors when they disclose their experiences. Faculty and staff are often the first person students tell about their experiences, and this workshop will provide space to talk about challenges, practice skills, and increase confidence in supporting student survivors at UMBC. 

The filers for these two events are attached as well.
