Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".
UMBC being a diverse campus values the richness that diversity brings to our campus. The Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging creates opportunities for students to build their awareness and knowledge of diverse people, cultures and belief systems (i3b). Through facilitated discussions, informal gatherings, educational engagements, presentations and campus-wide events, individual students, student organizations and classes learn the skills to create inclusive, just and mutually respectful communities at UMBC and beyond.
Please join us in this training and join the discussion after the presentation.
Speakers:
UMBC Doctoral Student AAC&U 2020 K. Patricia Cross Award for equity and inclusion work.
Director for Inclusive Excellence and Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging

]]>This is an unprecedented election year in which all of us are experiencing overlapping crises, including a global pandemic. Though there are many ballots that still need to be counted, our commitment to building inclusive and just communities must continue.
To honor this commitment, the Graduate Student Association will be hosting a session on Tuesday, November 10th beginning at 12PM and ending at 1PM to come together to reflect on the challenging time leading up to the 2020 election, discuss the outcomes, and envision the path ahead. RSVP required.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Meghan Lynch (mlyn1@umbc.edu).
Together Beyond November: (Re)building Community after Election 2020 is a series of inclusive post-election conversations hosted by UMBC departments and organizations. Their purpose is to help members of the UMBC community renew their connections and support each other in this challenging time. The Center for Democracy and Civic Life, Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (I3B), the Counseling Center, and leading campus educators in the use of restorative practices have trained student, faculty, and staff facilitators to guide these conversations, as a part of the Cast Your Whole Vote campaign.
This is an unprecedented election year in which all of us are experiencing overlapping crises, including a global pandemic. Tensions are high even as people crave the feeling of connection. Members of our UMBC community may feel isolated, uncertain, or uncomfortable sharing their honest views. These healing, empowering conversations can help us navigate the post-election period together.

The Office of Equity and Inclusion and the Inclusion Council is committed to partnering with the UMBC community. We acknowledge that there are many faculty, staff, and student groups that are already doing important inclusion work in our community and beyond. We believe in the power of collaboration and seek to help elevate and provide space for the important work that is already underway.
The Inclusion Council is now launching working groups to gather information, develop recommendations, and propose a plan of action with respect to a number of issues that have been identified by our community as priorities. We encourage UMBC community members from a variety of backgrounds to participate in these working groups. We specifically would like more graduate student representation in the working groups. As a community, we plan to draw on the leadership and wisdom of our students, alumni, faculty, and staff, many of whom confront these issues every day through their teaching, research, and activism.
If you are interested in joining any of the working groups, please submit your top two choices via the Inclusion Council Working Group Selection Form. You will find a brief description of the proposed subject matter for each group there.
