<Title>REPOST: October is Relationship Violence Awareness Month</Title>
<Tagline>We see you. We believe you. You matter.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><em>This post has been reposted on behalf of UMBC's Women Center. <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/posts/96238" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Original Post </a></em></div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div>
    <div>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.  </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>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, <a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/programs/what-is-green-dot/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Green Dot,</a> We Believe You, and Retriever Courage, and more will nonetheless continue to promote awareness and prevention this month. </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong><em>We are inviting our UMBC community to join our efforts.</em></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Get Involved:</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Learn</u></strong> - 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: <em>The Covid-Crossings of Relationship Violence, Relationship Violence’s Matrix of Oppression, and Un/Healthy Relationships for Young Adults. </em>
    </div>
    <div>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 (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/womenscenterumbc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/womencenterumbc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/womencenterumbc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a>) to engage in this content for learning and skill-building. Leave us comments or ask questions.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><em><strong>Learning Reminder!</strong> </em></div>
    <div><em>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!</em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Witness </u></strong>- 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 <em><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/posts/92679" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Survivors to the Front: A Call to Witness. </a></em>We will also reshare images from our virtual Clothesline Project and post images from past<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/files/4591" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Clothesline Project </a>displays hosted on campus. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Come Together </u></strong>- The <em>We Believe You discussion group</em> meets weekly on Wednesdays at 4pm. Survivors of power-based violence are welcomed to join this<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/events/84765" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> virtual community </a>hosted by the Women’s Center with support from the We Believe You student org. Email <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a> for more details on how you can join this virtual discussion. The <em>We Believe You student org</em> also hosts General Body Meetings. Follow their<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/webelieveyou" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> myUMBC page </a>or email them at <a href="mailto:webelieveyou.umbc@gmail.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">webelieveyou.umbc@gmail.com</a> for more information.

<Title>October is Relationship Violence Awareness Month</Title>
<Tagline>We see you. We believe you. You matter.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>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.  </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>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, <a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/programs/what-is-green-dot/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Green Dot,</a> We Believe You, and Retriever Courage, and more will nonetheless continue to promote awareness and prevention this month. </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong><em>We are inviting our UMBC community to join our efforts.</em></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Get Involved:</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Learn</u></strong> - 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: <em>The Covid-Crossings of Relationship Violence, Relationship Violence’s Matrix of Oppression, and Un/Healthy Relationships for Young Adults. </em>
    </div>
    <div>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 (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/womenscenterumbc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/womencenterumbc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/womencenterumbc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a>) to engage in this content for learning and skill-building. Leave us comments or ask questions. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><em><strong>Learning Reminder!</strong> </em></div>
    <div><em>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!</em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Witness </u></strong>- 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 <em><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/posts/92679" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Survivors to the Front: A Call to Witness. </a></em>We will also reshare images from our virtual Clothesline Project and post images from past<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/files/4591" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Clothesline Project </a>displays hosted on campus. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong><u>Come Together </u></strong>- The <em>We Believe You discussion group</em> meets weekly on Wednesdays at 4pm. Survivors of power-based violence are welcomed to join this<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/events/84765" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> virtual community </a>hosted by the Women’s Center with support from the We Believe You student org.

<Title>2021-2022 FAFSA Available Now</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>You may just be getting settled into a routine for your Fall
    2020 semester, but don’t get too settled – it’s time to start thinking about
    the Fall 2021 semester and beyond. That’s right, it’s time to <a href="https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">complete your 2021-2022
    FAFSA</a>!</p>
    
    <p>As of today, October 1, the Free Application for Federal
    Student Aid, more commonly known as the FAFSA, is available to complete. The
    FAFSA is required for any UMBC student planning to apply for need-based
    Federal, State or institutional financial aid for the Fall 2021, Winter 2022,
    Spring 2022 and Summer 2022 semesters.</p>
    
    <p>Before sitting down to complete the application, you and <a href="https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out/parent-info" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">your
    parent(s), if applicable</a>, will need to have all 2019 federal tax return
    information on hand. The FAFSA should take between 30 minutes and an hour to
    complete, but you can speed up the process and avoid costly mistakes by using
    the <a href="https://studentaid.gov/resources/irs-drt-text" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">IRS Data Retrieval
    Tool (DRT)</a> to transfer information directly from the IRS to your
    application.<span> </span></p>
    
    <p>No time today? No problem! But be sure to make time before
    March 1, 2021. March 1 is UMBC’s priority deadline, which ensures you receive
    priority consideration for many types of aid, including the <a href="https://financialaid.umbc.edu/types-of-aid/grants/umbc-grant/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Grant</a>.
    March 1 is also the State of Maryland’s deadline for consideration of <a href="https://mhec.state.md.us/preparing/Pages/FinancialAid/descriptions.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">financial
    aid from the Maryland Higher Education Commission</a>. </p>
    
    <p>One more thing – UMBC’s school code is 002105, and we show
    up on the FAFSA as the acronym “UMBC.” You’ll need to include this code to let
    the Department of Education know they need to send your application to our
    office. </p>
    <p>As always, feel free to <a href="https://financialaid.umbc.edu/contact/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">contact our office</a> with any questions you have about the financial aid process here at UMBC. </p>
