Each lotus represents our students, faculty, staff, and community members that make up our culturally diverse community. This will be an ongoing event throughout the Spring 2024 semester, please look for our upcoming dates to participate!


History and Mission of The Mosaic

Originally named UMBC's Multicultural Center which opened on February 2, 2004, The Mosaic is dedicated to creating an environment that supports cross-cultural education and collaboration at UMBC. This space was created out of the work of students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community partners who saw the need for a student-centered space for cultural learning and identity development after the disbandment of The Office of Multicultural Affairs. The Mosaic's commitment is to empower all UMBC to be culturally conscious and informed members of our community. Serving as a lounge, office space, and programming space, The Mosaic is rarely empty! Guest frequently have discussions about their hot topics in pop culture, media, or sharing their personal experiences. Opportunities to attend programs in our space such as Mixed Up: The Multiracial/Cultural Series, The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE), our So You Want to Be an Ally Series, and our soon to launch peer mentoring program, LOTUS (Leading Others to Thriving and Ultimate Success) allow all in attendance to gather, build community, share knowledge, and learn more about themselves and others. A safe and inclusive space for all UMBC community members of all backgrounds, The Mosaic strives to develop innovative programs and initiatives that celebrate cultural diversity, equality, and social justice. This space is open and staffed year-round. The Mosaic is reservable upon request after hours of operations.

  • Are you an educator wanting to help your students or colleagues better manage conflicts?   
  • Are you a leader looking for ways to gain buy-in and develop expectations and goals with your organization?
  • Are you looking for resources and guidance on techniques for classroom management?   
  • Do you want strategies to support community members coping with stress or trauma they carry with them onto campus?

 

On Wednesday, January 17 at 9 AM through Thursday, January 18 at 5PM, in  the Center for Well Being in room 118, spend two days digging into role plays, simulations, activities, and theory focused on supporting our community members not only academically, but also psychologically and emotionally.  During the sessions you will gain facilitation, community building and conflict management techniques you can implement immediately.

 

Topics:

  • Community Circles: Participants will actively engage in a community circle and delve into social-emotional community building approaches.
  • Restorative facilitation techniques: Experience a session integrating restorative techniques into your facilitation skills and practices. Expand your own practice and share with others.
  • Standards-Setting Role Play: Observe and participate in role plays to create community standards. These have been used in many contexts including organization vision, mission and goal-setting, classroom management, and conflict resolution.
  • Connecting with your community members: Learn a few lessons you can implement in your classroom or organization to create a positive environment where all members are included and accountable.

Workshop Overview:

 

Day One: Developing a Restorative Worldview

This workshop will challenge you to think differently about how you build relationships, build community with groups, and respond to conflict or incidents of harm. We will wrestle with the notions of discipline, conflict and justice through lecture, discussion, activities and role plays-looking closely at what our current systems are accomplishing and if the real needs of victims, offenders and communities are being met. Ultimately, we will emerge from day one of the workshop with ideas of how we can use restorative practices as a way of thinking about how we exist in community with others.

 

Day Two: Using Restorative Tools               

This workshop focuses on practical skills to set up and host a circle, how to use different types of circles and concrete tools and techniques to support engagement from participants in the circle process. The workshop uses adult education and experiential learning techniques, as well as activities and discussion. Circles can be used for:

  • Establishing agreements on how community members will interact and engage with each other;
  • Creating a sense of shared responsibility for maintaining agreements inside and outside of the classroom;
  • Offering a way to address issues and have an open and honest discussion of these issues;
  • Providing a way to address and deal with conflict.

 

E-mail restorativepractices@umbc.edu for more information!

 

The two-day training will take place on Wednesday, January 17 and Thursday, January 18 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. (Note that this is the the week of Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday holiday). Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided. The training is free for UMBC affiliates, but purchasing guidelines require us to charge $75 to cover the per-person costs for meals and training materials. If you are not affiliated with UMBC, please also purchase a ticket here.

 

Please use the website below by January 10, 2024 to register for the training, and to indicate dietary needs.

 

We understand that two full days is a lot to ask; however, we are confident that this training will be a catalyst that will enable relationships of all types to flourish and assist us in operationalizing the Community Living Principles and other aspirational goals in and beyond the Division of Student Affairs.

This is a competitive opportunity and can be used as the required internship for eligible students. 

I am *thrilled* to share that we have figured out a way to hold GSMP this summer as we wait for a decision about our grant renewal! As such, we have just opened the application! I am reaching out to ask you to share this information with advisees and students in your university who you think might be interested in our summer internship opportunity focused on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and genomics.

The GSMP is open to undergraduate students interested in the ethics of science, clinical care, and/or public health and provides an opportunity for training, research, mentorship, and network development guided by the Berman Institutes' renowned faculty. We would like to connect with your students to discuss the program by offering a virtual information session via Zoom on Thursday, January 18, 2024, at 12:00pm (zoom link).

We usually open applications in November and close February 1st; our recruitment was delayed this year, so we are running an accelerated recruitment period and keeping our application open until 11:59pm on February 15th. Our decisions will come out on the same schedule as in past years, in the first half of March.  

Please visit our website or contact Penny White (pwhite17@jhu.edu), with questions about the program.

From 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 9 and Wednesday, January 10, DoIT will conduct maintenance on our legacy (Siemens Rolm) phone system. 


UMBC Police and other emergency phone services around campus, as well as users who've transitioned to the new phone system, should see no impact in service.


This will only affect community members with the older, beige desk phones that are still receiving service from the legacy phone system. This planned maintenance window is to make engineering changes to prepare for the last stages of migration from this phone system and ensure we can smoothly transition the remaining services. 


If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
