<Title>May is Asian American &amp; Pacific Islander Heritage Month</Title>
<Tagline>Take the time to celebrate the diverse cultures of the AAPI</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This month is Asian American &amp; Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! We at the Mosaic would like to recognize all the amazing AAPI individuals that have made a difference in UMBC as well as throughout the nation. The month of May was chosen as AAPI Heritage month to commemorate the first immigration of the Japanese people to the United States (May 7, 1843) in addition to celebrating the contribution of the Chinese people in the completion of the transcontinental railroad (May 10, 1869).  <div><br></div>
    <div>While the roots of this month is to recognize the Japanese and Chinese, we would like to recognize just how diverse the AAPI community is, and celebrate that diversity. In addition to celebrating the Chinese and Japanese, we would like to recognize the amazing cultures of Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Bengali, and many more heritages. If you are interested in learning more about any of the cultures listed above, there are student-lead organizations for each! We encourage you to seek them out if you would like to celebrate the many diverse cultures of the AAPI.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Happy AAPI month, and best wishes on your finals.</div>

<Title>Retriever Courage Recommendations</Title>
<Tagline>Check out the sexual violence/misconduct prevention report</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Please see the update from President Hrabowski's Office earlier today:<div><br></div>
    <div> <div><span>Recommendations on Sexual Violence/Misconduct Prevention</span></div>
    <div><span>May 7, 2019 3:06 PM</span></div>   <div>
    <div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,<br><br>We want to share with our community <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/rvz24o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">three reports with recommendations</a> on the prevention of and response to sexual violence/misconduct at UMBC. These reports were compiled, respectively, by three groups:</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/7n024o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">External consultants’ report</a> (Jody Shipper, J.D., and Cherie Scricca, Ed.D. of Grand River Solutions, Inc.)</span></li>
    <li><span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/ng124o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage Student Advisory Committee report</a></span></li>
    <li><span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/38124o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage Faculty/Staff Advisory Committee report</a></span></li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <span>The three reports include assessments of UMBC’s current practices, policies, and resources, as well as recommendations based on effective practices on our campus, evidence-based research, and best practices at other universities.<br><br>This summer, the Retriever Courage Implementation Team will review and compile the recommendations from all three reports in preparation for a discussion about priorities with the University Steering Committee (USC) this fall. The Implementation Team and USC will then seek feedback and revisions from all Retriever Courage partners and the university community. After that, they will recommend prioritized action steps to the University Council of Vice Presidents and Deans, who will review and sign off on proposed actions, which will then be submitted to the President for final approval.<br><br>We thank our consultant team, the Student Advisory Committee, and the Faculty/Staff Advisory Committee for these reports as we continue to address together how to improve community safety and wellbeing at UMBC.<br><br>We also thank the thousands of faculty, staff, and students who have participated in internal and external reviews and training sessions over the past year. Thank you for your commitment to making UMBC a safer and more caring living, learning, and working environment for all, including engagement with Retriever Courage, and for the input and suggestions you are sharing to inform this work. We will continue to provide updates on progress and ways to stay engaged.<br><br>We encourage those who have observed or experienced sexual violence/misconduct to seek support as needed at any time. There are <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/j1224o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">many resources available on campus</a> and <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/zt324o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">in the community</a> that offer confidential medical support, confidential psychological/emotional support, and interim protective measures (e.g., no-contact orders, housing adjustments, academic concerns). For emergency situations, contact UMBC police via 410-455-5555 or local police via 911.<br><br></span><em><span>President Freeman Hrabowski<br>Provost Philip Rous<br></span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/z9rkvc/nwtbnbb/fm424o" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><span>Retriever Courage Partners</span></span></a></em>

<Title>Supporting Students, Staff, and Faculty During Ramadan</Title>
<Tagline>Ramadan this year starts on May 5th!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Ramadan is a month dedicated to fasting, spirituality &amp; worship, and charity &amp; community. It is the holiest month of the Muslim year and follows the lunar calendar. During this month, no food or drink (including water) may be taken from dawn to dusk Worshippers eat a pre dawn light meal, called <em>suhoor.</em> After dusk, Muslims break the fast with an evening meal called <em>iftar</em>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For the first time in 10 years, Ramadan will run from approximately May 5th - June 4th causing it to fall within the academic school year. This will impact Muslim students, staff, and faculty in various ways. In addition to being aware of this religious observance, here are five ways you can support members of the Muslim community this month.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Understand that Ramadan is a time of spiritual cleansing and reflection.</li>
    <li>Acknowledge Ramadan and Eid by wishing folks well.</li>
    <li>Be respectful of prayer times - many people are more observant during Ramadan and therefore may need to leave class, meetings, or other obligations to pray for approximately ten minutes.</li>
    <li>Ramadan includes evening programs that will require folks to be out late - check on your friends to make sure they get home safely!</li>
    <li>Check on your friends mental health and overall well-being.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>For more information on how to support the Muslim community this Ramadan, check out the attached handout from the Islamic Center at New York University and head over to the <a href="https://icjs.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies </a>in Towson, MD!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For questions about religious and spiritual resources, please contact Erin Waddles, Coordinator for Student Diversity and Inclusion at <a href="mailto:waddles@umbc.edu">waddles@umbc.edu</a> and Idania Ramos at <a href="mailto:idramos1@umbc.edu">idramos1@umbc.edu</a>. </div>
