A community can be a vital tool to help all of us get through life's ups and downs and celebrate our big and small moments. Community Conversations is an interactive event that will help students understand the role of community in supporting their well-being and mental health. This conversation will also highlight what it means to "show up" for others.

Mindfulness Mondays

A Space to Breath. To Reflect. To Be.


Mindfulness is the practice of purposefully bringing one's attention into the present moment without judgment. Join the Office of Health Promotion and the Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion and Belonging (i3b) to pause and connect with yourself, others, and the space around you. Each week, you will have the opportunity to practice mindfulness


i3b staff strives to create the most inclusive environment possible. If you need to request a disability-based accommodation or have any questions, contact i3b at i3b@umbc.edu.

We believe you. You matter”
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) affects ALL people regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, class, nationality, or other identities. IPV stems from an abusive partner's need to have control and power over their partner. It is never the survivor's fault that their partner abused them.  

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
  • About 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime and reported some form of IPV-related impact. 
  • Over 43 million women and 38 million men have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
  • About 11 million women and 5 million men who reported experiencing sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime said that they first experienced these forms of violence before the age of 18.
The CDC describes "intimate partner violence" as any of the following types of violence:
  • Physical violence is when a person hurts or tries to hurt a partner by hitting, kicking, or using another type of physical force.
  • Sexual violence is forcing or attempting to force a partner to take part in a sex act, sexual touching, or a non-physical sexual event (e.g., sexting) when the partner does not or cannot consent.
  • Stalking is a pattern of repeated, unwanted attention and contact by a partner that causes fear or concern for one's own safety or the safety of someone close to the survivor.
  • Psychological aggression is the use of verbal and non-verbal communication with the intent to harm another person mentally or emotionally and/or to exert control over another person.
If you have experienced or currently experiencing IPV, there is support and resources available to you at UMBC and off-campus.  
  • The Women's Center at UMBC provides on-campus support for students experiencing or those who have survived IPV and sexual assault. 
  • Retriever Integrated Health and i3b offer counseling and health services. 
  • TurnAround, a local agency that provides support, counseling, and information to survivors of sexual assault, can also assist individuals in preparing for a SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Examination) exam if they call the 24-hour Helpline- 443-279-0379.

The Maryland Board of Elections has placed an official ballot dropoff box in The Commons, meaning members of the UMBC community who are Maryland voters can cast their votes on campus. You will need to be registered and request a mail-in ballot, which you can place in the box after you have completed it.

As of this posting, UMBC is #6 in the United States in the number of pledges to vote made by students through ALL IN to Vote’s Pledge to Vote competition. Take the pledge and spread the word.

Dear Graduate Students, Pursuant to the recent increase in transit demand by graduate students, the Graduate Assistants Advisory Committee (GAAC) is conducting a survey to understand the transit demands of graduate students, specifically graduate assistants, who need to be on campus multiple days a week and primarily rely on the UMBC transit service to commute to campus. Filling out the survey will help us identify gaps in transit schedules and routes, if any. The information collected through this survey will be shared with the Transit office to meet the transit needs of UMBC's graduate students.

Here's the link to the survey:  https://forms.gle/P4zZ4uiDfrxxhUYc7

In case of queries, matters of special assistance or in emergency situations, you can always reach out to the Transit office directly through following mediums:
UMBC Transit has also worked with the Off-Campus Student Service (OCSS) to provide discounted travel to UMBC students on MTA buses through the CharmPass App. For further details, please email the Transit office.

Regards, Graduate Assistants Advisory Committee
