Two years ago, a lawsuit alleging UMBC mishandled several sexual assault complaints focused campus attention on our community’s culture and processes related to sexual assault prevention and response. Administrative and shared governance leaders, faculty, staff, and students joined together in the Retriever Courage initiative to better understand implementation of the UMBC Sexual Misconduct Policy and hold ourselves accountable to our value of inclusive excellence. This deep look in the mirror strengthened the campus in important ways, leading to the creation of our new Office of Equity and Inclusion, establishment of an Inclusion Council charged to support all members of the community affected by discrimination, and enhanced Title IX training required for all students, faculty, and staff.
Yesterday, we learned that the civil lawsuit filed against UMBC and individual defendants at the university has been dismissed by U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Chasanow, who ruled that UMBC fulfilled its obligations under all aspects of the law.
In all matters of equity and inclusion, compliance with the law is essential but certainly not sufficient. We are proud of the thoughtful and transparent approach our campus community is continuing to take to more fully understand the issue of sexual assault prevention and response. We deeply appreciate the many shared governance leaders, students, and colleagues who devote their time and expertise not only to the Retriever Courage work, but also to other urgent equity issues, including anti-racism and support for the LGBTQ, religious, immigrant, and international communities.
We are stronger as a campus because of this work, and we know that each of us has an important role to play as the work continues. October is Relationship Violence Awareness Month, and we encourage you to view the Women’s Center’s programs and resources. To learn more about Equity and Inclusion initiatives at UMBC or to seek support for personal concerns, please visit the Office of Equity and Inclusion website.
President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

We believe you. You matter.
Relationship Violence Awareness Month (RVAM) brings people together to create and generate discussion and skill-building on how to prevent relationship violence in our schools, workplaces, and communities. While providing support and care to survivors of relationship violence is an everyday action, this awareness month also carves out intentional moments to honor and believe survivors’ stories and experiences. As we continue this work throughout the pandemic, it is also critical for us to consider how the intersections of covid-19 and social isolation have exacerbated relationship violence over the past several months.
Since most of campus remains learning and working remotely, we won’t be able to physically come together this October to do this critical work in person. The Women’s Center and all of our campus partners including the Office of Equity and Inclusion, University Health Services, the Counseling Center, Green Dot, We Believe You, and Retriever Courage, and more will nonetheless continue to promote awareness and prevention this month.
We are inviting our UMBC community to join our efforts.
Get Involved:
Learn - Throughout the month of October, the Women’s Center will be focusing on various topics and issues related to relationship violence awareness and prevention. Key themes we will be exploring include: The Covid-Crossings of Relationship Violence, Relationship Violence’s Matrix of Oppression, and Un/Healthy Relationships for Young Adults.
We’ll be sharing weekly postings to help guide your self-learning that will include relevant webinars or events, podcasts or blogs, and on and off-campus resources. Follow us on social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) to engage in this content for learning and skill-building. Leave us comments or ask questions.
Learning Reminder!
All undergraduate and graduate students are required to complete mandatory annual student training that addresses UMBC's policies around sexual and gender based violence from the Office of Equity and Inclusion by November 1st!
Witness - Last April, the Women’s Center in partnership with survivors created a zine in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The stories, the poems, and images are timeless and are relevant today as they were in April. Please help us bear witness to the experiences of survivors by reading Survivors to the Front: A Call to Witness. We will also reshare images from our virtual Clothesline Project and post images from past Clothesline Project displays hosted on campus.
Come Together - The We Believe You discussion group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 4pm. Survivors of power-based violence are welcomed to join this virtual community hosted by the Women’s Center with support from the We Believe You student org. Email womenscenter@umbc.edu for more details on how you can join this virtual discussion. The We Believe You student org also hosts General Body Meetings. Follow their myUMBC page or email them at webelieveyou.umbc@gmail.com for more information. Aspiring allies and survivors are also invited to join the work of the Inclusion Council by expressing their interest to be a part of the sexual misconduct workgroup.
Stay tuned to our myUMBC page for other events or webinars we may promote throughout the month hosted by our campus and/or off-campus partners.
Additionally, throughout this time of distance learning, campus staff are still here and available for support.
Do not hesitate to reach out for questions, concerns, or care.

We Believe You. You Mater.
Relationship Violence
Awareness Month (RVAM) brings people together to create and generate discussion
and skill-building on how to prevent relationship violence in our schools,
workplaces, and communities. While providing support and care to survivors of
relationship violence is an everyday action, this awareness month also carves
out intentional moments to honor and believe survivors’ stories and
experiences. As we continue this work throughout the pandemic, it is also
critical for us to consider how the intersections of covid-19 and social
isolation have exacerbated relationship violence over the past several
months.
Since most of campus remains learning and
working remotely, we won’t be able to physically come together this October to
do this critical work in person. The Women’s Center and all of our campus
partners including the Office of Equity and Inclusion, University Health
Services, the Counseling Center, Green Dot, We
Believe You, and Retriever Courage, and more will nonetheless continue to
promote awareness and prevention this month.
We are inviting our UMBC community to join our
efforts.
Get Involved:
Learn - Throughout the month of October, the Women’s Center will
be focusing on various topics and issues related to relationship violence
awareness and prevention. Key themes we will be exploring include: The
Covid-Crossings of Relationship Violence, Relationship Violence’s Matrix of
Oppression, and Un/Healthy Relationships for Young Adults.
We’ll be sharing weekly postings to help guide
your self-learning that will include relevant webinars or events, podcasts or
blogs, and on and off-campus resources. Follow us on social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) to engage in
this content for learning and skill-building. Leave us comments or ask
questions.
Learning Reminder!
All undergraduate and graduate students are
required to complete mandatory annual student training that addresses UMBC's
policies around sexual and gender based violence from the Office of Equity and
Inclusion by November 1st!
Witness - Last April, the Women’s Center in partnership
with survivors created a zine in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The
stories, the poems, and images are timeless and are relevant today as they were
in April. Please help us bear witness to the experiences of survivors by
reading Survivors to the
Front: A Call to Witness. We will also reshare images from
our virtual Clothesline Project and post images from past Clothesline
Project displays hosted on campus.
Come Together - The We Believe You discussion group meets
weekly on Wednesdays at 4pm. Survivors of power-based violence are welcomed to
join this virtual
community hosted by the Women’s Center with support from the We
Believe You student org. Email womenscenter@umbc.edu for
more details on how you can join this virtual discussion. The We
Believe You student org also hosts General Body Meetings. Follow their myUMBC page or
email them at webelieveyou.umbc@gmail.com for
more information. Aspiring allies and survivors are also invited to join the
work of the Inclusion
Council by expressing their interest to be a part of the sexual
misconduct workgroup.
Stay tuned to our myUMBC page for
other events or webinars we may promote throughout the month hosted by our
campus and/or off-campus partners.
Additionally, throughout this time of distance
learning, campus staff are still here and available for support.
Do not hesitate to reach out for questions,
concerns, or care.

Dear Colleagues,
UMBC is fortunate to have so many talented and dedicated Exempt and Non-Exempt staff working to support our mission. This year in particular, our staff have displayed exceptional creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience as our University community has come together to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff worked tirelessly to support our transition to the new realities of online teaching and learning, implement telework, and transform our physical campus to promote health and safety.
Each year, we encourage administrators, faculty, and staff to nominate staff members for one of these prestigious awards:
UMBC Presidential Distinguished Staff Awards University System of Maryland Board of Regents Staff Awards Jakubik Family Endowment Staff Award Karen L. Wensch Endowment Award for Outstanding Non-Exempt Staff
Given the outstanding contributions of our staff during this unprecedented time, we ask that you reflect on the work within your units and across the campus and nominate a colleague. This process gives both UMBC and the University System of Maryland the opportunity to recognize exemplary work at our University. We are eager to honor our colleagues and need your help to do so.
Descriptions of the individual awards and the eligibility requirements for each, as well as the nomination form, can be found at 2020-21 Staff Awards. Each nomination should include the nomination form, a single letter of recommendation, and the nominee’s resume or job history form. Nominations should be sent by October 30 to Colleen Rebeiro in the Office of the Provost at colleenr@umbc.edu.
We hope the entire UMBC community will engage in the nomination process. If you have questions about the staff awards, please contact Sarah Shin, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, at shin@umbc.edu.
