This event will be taking place on Wednesday October 20th, 2021
10/11
The Commons COMM 328

It's been too long since we at PROMISE have had the opportunity to host
an in-person event for graduate students and we miss seeing you! 
(You know, in person and not on a tiny screen on Webex!). 

We've decided to host an informal gathering at Commons 328 and 
hope you will join us. 

WE will provide some coffee and donuts to share and invite you to stop to say hi and catch up with us and other graduate students.

We (Dr. Robin Cresiski and Yarazeth Medina) will be available to talk
 about the Grad Student and Postdoc Development Office (GSPD), 
PROMISE, the calendar of professional development events,
our latest Netflix Binges, and hopefully, create an opportunity 
for you to meet fellow grad students in other departments. 
We would love to help you develop
 a deeper sense of community here on campus.
If you just feel like stopping for free coffee and a donut, you are more 
than welcome to do so as well! 

Please click on "Going" on the event page here so we can be sure
 to have enough coffee and donuts for all who plan to attend.
Please remember: Facemasks are required inside the building.

If you need any special accommodations or have questions, 
please contact Yarazeth Medina at yarazeth@umbc.edu

During this time of continued uncertainty and change we are faced with many stressors that impact the way we live & work affect our ability to take care of ourselves and others.  We need tools, frameworks, resources and support from our community to steady our individual and collective boats so that we may bring the best version of ourselves to our life and our work in supporting students.

Join us for a series of Caring For Yourself & Supporting Students Connections Group sessions. This is a time to share, support, and learn from each other. Each session will explore a shared resource, tool, or practice to explore in advance and/or during our session, encourage open discussion space to engage, learn, and support each other, and formulate self-care and/or other-care strategies to help support resilience & well-being for ourselves and the students we serve.

See October's article and we hope to see you there! Conversations will be facilitated by  Bruce Herman, Director of UMBC Retriever Integrated Health, and Jill Wardell, Director of UMBC's Workplace Learning, OD & Wellness department. We welcome you to join us for these exploratory, productive, and hopefully meaningful conversations!

Participants will receive a link with the credentials for the session 24 hours beforehand.

On Tuesday, October 19th from Noon to 1:00 PM, The Faculty Development Center is hosting a virtual discussion regarding the inquiries, implications, and insecurities of a "return to normal" and would like to invite graduate students to attend. Below is a snippet of the content of the discussion: 


Reposted from Faculty Development Center:

Do you cringe at the thought of “returning to normal” this year? Even if not, 
is it surprising to learn that several students are bracing themselves for, or currently struggling with, what it means to “return to normal?” Let’s dig deeper into this phenomenon unearthed by the ongoing pandemic; flexibility and accessibility allowed for a more inclusive learning environment, yet now these privileges may be disappearing. This session in the Diverse Classroom Series asks participants to reflect on the ways the “normal” college classroom in 2019 may have oppressed our diverse student body. Participants will gain perspective on how the sudden universal need for remote learning “evened the playing field” for some learners, especially those with intersectional identities. Finally, this session will encourage participants to be cognizant of how they can challenge the meaning of returning to normal, for their classroom(s).
