IDENTIFY THE FLAG!!
Let's see who can name this one...
Its placement on the map should serve as a hint, though not too obvious a hint :-)
Good luck!!
Also, if you'd like to have your photo taken with your country's flag, please stop by the Mosaic or send me an email:
Lemoine1@umbc.edu. Let's see how diverse this campus really is!
In West Africa, people save up for months to buy sheep to prepare in various ways on this day, and everyone gets dressed up in their finest bazin clothing to greet their neighbors and friends. The children roam the streets in groups, shouting "Salimafo!!" (happy holidays) and expect a treat. It's a festive day every year!
Eid Mubarak UMBC !

Eid al-Adha, known as Tabaski in West Africa, is a Muslim holiday to honor the prophet Ibrahim's (pbuh) acceptance to sacrifice his only son at Allah's request. At the last minute, Allah...

New study: 1 in 5 people identify as "Not heterosexual"
Polls may underestimate homophobia and LGB population
Though the researchers point that the study's sample wasn't representative of the U.S. population, the findings are potentially groundbreaking. Pew Research Center reports:
"Do conventional public opinion surveys under-report the proportion of gays and lesbians in the population? And do they underestimate the share of Americans who hold anti-gay views?
A team of researchers from Ohio State and Boston Universities say the answer to both questions is yes.
“We find substantial under-reporting of LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] identity and behaviors as well as underreporting of anti-gay sentiment …even under anonymous and very private conditions,” the researchers wrote in a working paper just published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The study was conducted by economists Katherine B. Coffman and Lucas C. Coffman of Ohio State University and Keith M. Marzilli Ericson of Boston University
They used a novel research method that, in addition to the usual privacy and anonymity afforded by the best practice survey techniques, goes further and makes it virtually impossible to connect individual respondents with their answers to sensitive questions. They call this technique the “Veiled Report” method.
Then they compared their findings with the results obtained as part of the “Veiled Report” experiment with responses from a control group that answered questions posed in a more conventional way. Their goal was to see how social desirability bias—the tendency for people to not to reveal behaviors or attitudes that they fear may be viewed as outside the mainstream—may affect reporting on these sensitive topics..."

IDENTIFY THE FLAG!!
How well do you know your international flags?
With around 200 [depending on your definition] countries in the world today, how many of these country's flags can you identify by sight? How many flags are represented in the UMBC student body?
Test your skills with the Mosaic's latest contest: Identify the flag! Each week, a new flag from the Mosaic Center's extensive flag collection will be posted for your responses. No penalty - and no judgment - for wrong guesses!! You may even see a flag you'd never seen before, or learn of a country you had never heard of!
Do you recognize the two flags appearing in the photo at right with UMBC's Hispanic Latino Student Union?
Stop by the Mosaic if you'd like your picture taken with your country's flag for submission to the contest. Let's find out how diverse this campus really is!

Meet a DEI: Saniya Chaudhry
Bio:
Saniya Chaudhry is a current sophomore studying Biology. She plans on graduating UMBC and entering pharmacy school and getting her PharmD, possibly do a residency after. In addition to being a DEI, she is a certified pharmacy technician, and events coordinator of the Pre Pharmacy Society. She enjoys spending time with her family, sleeping, singing, listening to music, and eating. She loves to learn new things and is a very curious person. This year, she hopes to open people’s hearts and minds and gain knowledge as well.
Q. What made you get involved with The Mosaic Center as a Diversity Educator Intern?
I wanted to try something new and learn about different people's perspectives on issues.
Q. What might someone be surprised to know about you?
When I was little, I invented another planet called Weird-O-World and used to go around giving speeches about how awesome it was.....I was a strange kid. Also, I am a shopaholic.
Q. When you aren’t performing DEI duties, what are you most likely doing?
I am most likely in class, at work, listening to music, eating, or sleeping. That sums up my life.
Q. How would (someone) describe you?
Someone close to me would describe me as hard working, and caring (I hope).
Q. What do you wish other people knew about The Mosaic Center?
It is a public space, you can come in and eat lunch, do homework or just relax.
Q. What would you say are some of your strongest beliefs about diversity?
Diversity is something to be proud of, that a bunch of people with different beliefs or even appearances can live and cooperate with each other.
Q. What's your personal philosophy on what should be done about promoting communal diversity and inclusion?
It should be our duty as human beings to make others feel a part of the community and respect who they are, and try not to change them. Everyone has something to offer.
