We are proud to announce that UMBC will be hosting introductory workshops on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, as well as LGBTQ Safe Zone Ally Development Training, throughout the Spring 2012 semester. Our aim is to help students, faculty and staff promote a more welcoming atmosphere for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning members of the UMBC community.
The first session is a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Introductory Workshop. It will cover basic ideas and terminology related to LGBTQ issues and is intended for those with a very general understanding of what it means to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning. This session is for beginners. The first Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity workshop will be taking place on Thursday,February 23rd, 2012 from 2:30pm - 4pm.
The second session is Safe Zone Ally Development Training. It will prepare participants to join UMBC’s formal network of Safe Zone advocates, if they wish. Advocates are community members who agree to be publicly identified as being dedicated to making UMBC safer for students, faculty and staff of all sexual orientations and gender identities. One does not need to be a member of the LGBTQ community to become an advocate; all it takes is a genuine wish to be involved in helping students, faculty and staff feel safe and encouraged to be themselves as much as possible.
Since Safe Zone Ally Development Training does presume some level of knowledge and familiarity with LGBTQ ideas and terminology, Session II participants are expected to have a basic understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity through previous training (for example, the Session I Introductory Workshop), personal background or past experiences.
A flyer with full descriptions for each workshop has been attached to this news story. All community-wide workshops will take place in the OSL Mosaic Center, Commons 2B23 (unless otherwise noted). RSVPs via email (mosaic@umbc.edu) are strongly encouraged.

Involvement Fest Spring 2012 is Wednesday from 11-2, so what better time to show you the design process behind all of this years print material (and iNet). First is the logo mockups that were made and based off of previous years logos. The theme is 1950’s Baltimore, so the hon’s are little nod to that. Second is the final poster version of the design used on all of the marketing. Third is the Screen Print Demo design that will be printed in pink and blue tomorrow in The Gameroom from 11 - 1 (or when shirts run out). Lastly, is the brochure design that you can pick up from the CIC during the event and will help you find all the student orgs that you want to check out.
Tomorrow! We’ll be down there announcing the Quadmania 2012 headliner with free coke-floats and snacks!
