Women's Center End of the Semester Hours!
As the semester comes to a close, our hours will be slightly altered. On Study Day, December 11th, we will be closing at 5pm. Throughout the rest of finals week, on days we close at 6pm (Mon-Thurs) we will now be closing at 5pm.
Beginning, December 19th, the Women's Center will be closed until our January 2020 hours begin.
Community members needing access to the lactation room should contact staff via
womenscenter@umbc.edu and/or see the instructions provided to you via the email received when you signed up for room reservations to see how to access the Women's Center when we're closed.
Happy holidays and good luck on your finals!
Dear UMBC LGBTQA+ and ally community members,
The votes are in! The Queer Student Lounge (QSL) is now...
...(drum roll please)...
The 
Center!
It is our belief that this new name will better reflect the current and evolving needs of the LGBTQA+ community and better represents our diverse and inclusive needs. Please, remember to be patient with us. The full rebranding process will take some time (we'll have lots of online and hard copy materials to update). However, you should start witnessing a slow roll out of the name throughout the semester - with an eventual ribbon cutting by the end of spring.
We will be sure to keep you posted with updates as they become available.
A very special thanks to Heidy George, Program Associate for Student Diversity and Inclusion and the UMBC LGBTQ+ community members who participated in our poll!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at mosaic@umbc.edu.
- Campus Life's Diversity and Inclusion Staff

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance
Remembering those we have lost to anti-trans violence
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance where we honor the memory of the transgender people whose lives we have lost to acts of anti-transgender violence.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester's death, and began an important tradition in raising public awareness of hate crimes committed against transgender people.
According to an annual transgender violence report published by the Human Rights Campaign, at least 22 trans and gender-nonconforming people have been fatally shot or killed by other violent means. Most of those killed in 2019 were young, black women. We do not know the actual number of deaths because too often these stories go unreported – or misreported.
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we name, honor, remember and mourn the transgender people whose lives our country has lost to anti-transgender violence this year:

November IS National Native American Heritage Month
Recognizing the culture and contributions of Indigenous folk
President George H.W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month”. Similar proclamations, under various names, have been issued each year since 1994. Long before that 1990 proclamation, Indigenous people of various backgrounds had struggled to get the history and culture of their people recognized and celebrated on a national sale.
Dr. Arthur C. Park, of Seneca descent, was the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, N.Y. He was an archaeologist, anthropologist, folklorist, and journalist among other designations who devoted a significant part of his life advocating for Native rights. He lived out these values by convincing the Boy Scouts of America to set aside a day for the “First Americans”. They adopted this day for three years.
On September 28, 1915, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, of Arapahoe descent and Congress of the American Indian Association president, called upon the country to observe the second Saturday of each May as American Indian Day. This proclamation also contained the first formal appeal for recognition of Indians as citizens.
Red Fox James, of Blackfoot descent, rode over 4,000 miles on horseback from state to state seeking approval for a day to honor Native Americans. On December 14, 1915, he presented the endorsements of 24 state governments to the White House. Unfortunately, there is no record of such a national day being proclaimed.
Over the years, several states have independently declared days in May or September to observe such a day. More recently, several states have designated Columbus Day as Native American Recognition Day, but it continues to be a day observed without any recognition as a national legal holiday.
Despite attempts to minimize and erase Indigenous voices, we must continue to raise awareness of the culture, history, and contributions of Indigenous people. Below are highlighted events happening on UMBC’s campus that you can attend in the spirit of education and celebration of this month.
Friday, November 8 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Wednesday, November 13 | 3:00pm - 4:30pm
Wednesday, November 13 | 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Monday, November 18 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Thursday, December 5 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm
Check out the attached document for a list of events happening in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. We invite you to share this with your friends, co-workers, professors, and networks across campus. For more information, feel free to visit the Multicultural Resource Calendar located on Campus Life's Mosaic website!
