    <p><span>Come learn about the Fulbright Program!<br>
    <br>
    Have you ever thought about living abroad for a year after you graduate? Are
    you interested in teaching English? Doing independent research? Enrolling in
    graduate school? Then come hear about the </span><a href="http://us.fulbrightonline.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Fulbright U.S. Student Program</span></a><span>, a
    prestigious scholarship program that funds U.S. graduates to conduct in-person
    research, earn a master's degree, or teach English as a foreign language in one
    of 140+ countries throughout the world. </span></p>
    
    <p><span>This information session is open to all students, both
    undergraduates and graduates. It is being sponsored by the Anthropology Club,
    the Public Health COM, the Sociology Society, and the Department of Sociology,
    Anthropology, and Public Health, and it will be led by Dr. Brian Souders,
    UMBC's Fulbright Program Advisor. Dr. Souders coaches students through UMBC’s
    (very successful!) Fulbright application process – including quite a few from
    our department! And this session, we anticipate a guest appearance by our own
    anthropology grad <span>Maryam Elhabashy</span> (2021),
    who is currently in Kuwait where she is conducting research supported by a Fulbright
    Award.</span></p>
    
    <p><span> Please plan to join us to hear about this exciting program
    and maybe have some pizza. If you can’t join us or have any questions, please
    contact Dr. Souders at </span><a href="mailto:fulbright@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>fulbright@umbc.edu</span></a><span>.</span></p>

<Tagline>UMBC Giving Day 2023</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Dear friends of i3b (old, new, and soon-to-be!),<div><br></div>
    <div>It's giving day at UMBC! What can we do in 36 hours? Contribute to #umbc #BlackAndGoldRush and see what's possible when we work together. This Giving Day we invite you to <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BYasm3uTVU1KJC8TeanlRfgN5srAWiau/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">join our community of radical love and belonging</a> by <a href="https://bit.ly/umbci3b23" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">giving to the i3b fund this Giving Day</a>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>When you give to i3b, you support students finding belonging in identity-based spaces across campus, like <strong>The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity, The Pride Center, and the Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being</strong>. Your gift also funds programs that help students develop skills needed to dialogue across difference and become more equitable and inclusive community leaders.</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Support initiatives like the Interact Dialogues Program, Your Story Belongs Here theater collaboration and annual graduation celebrations like the Lavender Graduation &amp; Scholarship and the Black &amp; Latin/e/x Graduation Celebration</li>
    <li>Support the expansion of religious and spiritual student resources and programming</li>
    <li>Support LGBTQ outreach programming and Pride Center beautification by giving to the LGBTQ Outreach fund</li>
    </ul></div>

    <span>A contribution of any amount will make a significant difference. </span><span><span>bell hooks told us, <strong>“</strong></span><span><strong>Without love, our efforts to liberate ourselves and our world community from oppression and exploitation are doomed.</strong></span><span><strong>”</strong> This thinking grounds our community and our commitment in radical love and belonging. </span><span>Whether you decide to give today or not, we hope we can now consider you friends of i3b…. Friends </span><span>who will join us as we strive to co-create a more socially just world.</span></span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>Please also consider supporting other programs and initiatives in UMBC's Division of Student Affairs that help students to get involved, develop leadership skills, build thriving relationships and communities, and access support in challenging times. See </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/vpsa/posts/131267" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this post</a><span> for a list of these initiatives.
