Leadership Blueprint 2020 | Qualtrics Survey Solutions

Thank you for your interest in UMBC's Fall 2021 Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) Mini-Series!

The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and the Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b). The purpose of MLE is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify with diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, challenges, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers.

The MLE Mini-Series will include three different sessions that you are welcome to register for. You have the option to register for one, some, or all of the sessions being offered. Each session will provide participants with:

connections to campus and resources
meaning-making through reflection and group discussions
leadership learning through the lens of multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion
opportunities to engage with other students across different areas of campus involvement

The following are the sessions that are being offered for the fall 2020 term:

Session #1 - Reconstructing Resilience
Thursday, Sep. 30 @ 11am - 12:15pm
This first session of the mini series will focus on the topic of Reconstructing Resilience, specifically on how it's dictionary definition (i.e. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness) can create an environment that cultivates toxic positivity, specifically during hardship and/or trauma. Participants will connect their understanding of themselves to their leadership approach in relation to resiliency.

Session #2 - Exploring Empathy & Giving Grace
Tuesday, Nov. 9 @ 1pm - 2:15pm
The second session of the mini series will focus on the topic of Exploring Empathy and Giving Grace, specifically on exploring one's emotional intelligence in understanding others, as well as reflecting our own personal needs. Participants will connect their understanding of themselves to their leadership approach by engaging in inter-cultural dialogue and utilizing emotional intelligent capacities.

Session #3 - Inclusive Excellence Decoded
Tuesday, Dec. 7 @ 4pm - 5:15pm

This third session of the mini series will focus on the topic of Decoding Inclusive Excellence, specifically on questioning what Inclusive Excellence means in the context of UMBC and beyond. Participants will connect their understanding of our campus community and tools learned in order to collectively co-create a new definition for Inclusive Excellence.

To participate in the MLE Mini-Series, you must select the session(s) you wish to attend. Once registered, you will be expected to attend the session(s) you signed up for. If you are no longer able to attend, please notify a MLE Planning Committee Co-Chair.
