    <span><p><span>Handshake ID: </span><span>9726261</span></p>

Social Justice Dialogue Facilitation Fellows </span><span>work for the Center for Social Justice Dialogue and are supervised by professional staff within the Center. </span></p>
    <p><span>The main role of this internship is to support the work of the Center for Social Justice Dialogue (CSJD) in cultivating a campus community where everyone feels empowered and equipped to engage in difficult dialogue across differences of identity, background, and lived experience.

Facilitators are expected to work a maximum of ten hours a week which includes weekly staff meetings to engage in deep learning, prepare for workshops, and continue developing student-focused programming.

    <div>
    <div>We will continue to explore this year's theme, <u>Weaving Our Tapestry,</u> as we take the time to gather and set intentions about our upcoming semester. As a community, we will have the opportunity to engage in a collective woven activity to continue to lift up the strands that connect us together. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Light snacks and drinks will be provided (kosher, halal, &amp; gf options available)!</div>
    </div>

<Title>Retriever Essentials Donation Bin Now in The Gathering Space!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>We are pleased to announce that there is now a Retriever Essentials donation bin available in The Gathering Space! It is located at the entrance near our student staff desk. We highly encourage our community members to make contributions, as this is a valuable opportunity to help fellow peers who are facing food insecurity. This is of particular importance for those who have religious/spiritual dietary restrictions. For a list of high priority items, please refer to the <a href="https://retrieveressentials.umbc.edu/services/donate-items/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Essentials website</a> (<strong>Note:</strong> TGS donation bin accepts non-perishable food items only.)</div>
