    <p><strong>The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion &amp; Belonging (i3B), that seeks to: </strong></p>
    <p><strong>Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program; <br>Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead; <br>And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference. </strong></p>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>The sessions are as follows:<div> </div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <div>- Meeting #1: Monday, February 12th, 3pm - 4:30pm</div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by: </div>
    <ul>
    <li>Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;</li>
    <li>Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;</li>
    <li>Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections; </li>
    <li>And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups</li>
    </ul>
    <div> </div>
    <div>The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!   </div>

    <a href="https://quthermo.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sebastian Deffner</a>, associate professor of physics, attended "Quantum Science and Technology: Recent Advances and New Perspectives," a workshop hosted by the <a href="https://www.pas.va/en.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Pontifical Academy of Sciences</a> in Vatican City from November 30 to December 2. Deffner was among only about 70 global experts invited to the workshop, and the guest list included numerous Nobel laureates.<br><br>"The leading experts in quantum science met in a unique place for a unique workshop to discuss the past, present, and future of quantum technologies," Deffner says of the workshop.<br><br>
    
    
    For Deffner, it was an exciting and rare opportunity. The invitation recognizes his leadership role in developing the young field of quantum thermodynamics on an international scale. In 2019, he co-authored the <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-1-64327-658-8" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">first textbook</a> focused on the subject, and his research group consistently <a href="https://umbc.edu/stories/quantum-computing-but-even-faster-umbc-researchers-explore-the-possibilities-with-new-nsf-grant/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">contributes</a> to the <a href="https://umbc.edu/stories/umbcs-sebastian-deffner-receives-fqxi-support-for-pioneering-work-to-define-laws-of-the-universe/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">research</a> <a href="https://umbc.edu/stories/umbc-physicist-sebastian-deffner-lays-groundwork-to-better-understand-birth-of-the-universe/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">literature</a>.<br><br>

<Title>Spring 2024 Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE)</Title>
<Tagline>Spring Registration Now Open!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>Applications for the Spring '24 MLE Cohort can be found <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRf1jYuZb-4r6pHuwFRl1uDsv70D7t7-UeaQGyQTBG_sZLLA/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">HERE</a>. </strong></p>
    <p><strong>The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion &amp; Belonging (i3B), that seeks to: </strong></p>
    <p><strong>Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program; <br>Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead; <br>And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference. </strong></p>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><span><div>The sessions are as follows:<div> </div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <div>- Meeting #1: Monday, February 12th, 3pm - 4:30pm</div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by: </div>
    <ul>
    <li>Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;</li>
    <li>Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;</li>
    <li>Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections; </li>
    <li>And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups</li>
    </ul>
    <div> </div>
    <div>The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!   </div>
