Autism Acceptance, Deaf History and Sexual Assault Awareness
April has a Wealth of Experiences
Autism - from Awareness to Acceptance
People of all identities around the world live, go to school and go to work with the neurodiversity that Autism brings to a world, often with struggle and difficulty. UMBC's students, faculty, staff, and visitors have this neurodiversity as well. While many learn and work well with best practices and accessible design, students (both undergraduate and graduate), as well as faculty and staff who experience disability with a diagnosed health condition (which includes autism) may seek accommodations through
Student Disability Services (link) for academic programs, as well as
work-related accommodations via Accessibility & Disability Services.
National Deaf History Month
National Deaf History Month runs from March 13-April 15th - and had its beginning in 1996 when two Deaf employees at Martin Luther King Library in DC began teaching their colleagues American Sign Language. (UMBC has American Sign Language courses throughout the year, and Sign of Life is the student organization for people who are learning/know ASL) April 8, 1864 was when Gallaudet University-the world's first institution of higher education for the Deaf and hard of hearing, April 15th, 1817 is when the American School for the Deaf - the first public school of its kind - opened.
Recent history includes the
2021 movie CODA winning Best Picture and Deaf actor Troy Kotsur, winning Best Actor at the Oscars, among other Oscars that night and SAG awards for best cast. Marlee Matlin, who won her first Oscar in 1987, played a pivotal role in advocating for a predominantly Deaf cast. Perhaps some of UMBC's students and alumni will be influenced by this history-making, if-you-can-see-it-you-can-be-it moment? Students, faculty and staff can learn more about
UMBC's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services here.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
This month we highlight awareness about sexual assault - which informs community safety and health at UMBC. ADS and SDS are acutely aware of how this harmful and criminal behavior disproportionately affects people with disabilities. Participating in the campus climate survey supports the campus awareness and training and response efforts. UMBC Office of Equity and Inclusion's survey is now open. You can access the online survey here and it will be open until Monday, April 25, 2022 and will take about 15-25 minutes to complete. This survey is anonymous and confidential; only after completing the Campus Climate Survey, is there a voluntary prompt for a drawing.
Content note: This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct, and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears before and after the survey and is available at any time on the OEI website.
Learn more about Disability and Victimization here. Become involved with awareness, prevention and safety by participating in Green Dot (prevention) Training and being familiar with UMBC Resources.
*People with disabilities, including the Deaf and Autistic communities are not a monolith, it's important to respect how people individually self-identify.

We want to hear from YOU about compost
Take our survey to share your thoughts on compost on campus
What is composting?
Composting is the process of using organic material to enrich soil. It's a type of natural fertilizer made of food scraps, which otherwise rot slowly in landfills, releasing methane, or go to incinerators that cause pollution.
How is UMBC doing?
UMBC's Climate Action Plan includes organic waste diversion as a priority. But with 20-30% of trash organic, and limited opportunities to compost on campus, UMBC could collect so much more!
Why do we care?
We all need to do our part to respond to climate change. UMBC shows commitment to environmental justice by supporting the South Baltimore Community Land Trust in their goal to build a community owned and -led compost site. Now, let's improve collection of our valuable organic waste and put it to good use.
The the survey
here! The survey is open to everyone on campus: students, faculty, and staff!
