    <div class="html-content">
    <p><em>Dear Graduate Students,</em></p>
    <p><em><br></em><em>   It is deeply important for me to share with you the resources available to the UMBC campus as we all process the DOJ and Title IX Investigation in our own way and on our own time. <br></em><em><br></em></p>
    <p><em><strong>Please take care of yourself and others if you have the space and are in a place to do so. </strong><br></em><em><br></em></p>
    <p><em>~~ In the words of Dr. Sheares Ashby, shared on March 26th. </em></p>
    <p><em><span>"We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture that is safe and responsive to the needs of our community. This includes providing support services and resources to those who may have experienced trauma, or for whom these investigative findings are difficult to process. We have identified a host of </span><a href="https://umbc.edu/dojagreement/#support" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">resources</a><span> to help support you through this difficult time, and we encourage anyone in our community—students, faculty, and staff—to reach out for support if needed. I also urge anyone at UMBC who experiences sexual misconduct, sex-based discrimination, or harassment to report it (</span><a href="https://umbc-advocate.symplicity.com/titleix_report/index.php/pid045954?" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">online</a><span> or by emailing </span><span><a href="mailto:ecr@umbc.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ecr@umbc.com</a></span><span> or calling 410-455-1717) so that we may investigate it and take appropriate action."</span></em></p>
