On Monday, June 5^th, 2017 contractors working on the ILSB building will be installing a new water line outside of the construction fence currently in place. Although the work will take place in the roadway, Commons Drive, Commons Circle and the Physics loading dock will remain open for service and delivery vehicles only. The contractor will have personnel in place to direct vehicles through the affected areas during work hours. The area will be returned to it’s current state after each work day

The work will commence on June 5^th on Commons Drive, near the Physics Building loading dock entrance road and continue through June 6^th. The contractors will only close half of the road each day to allow access to Commons Circle for service vehicles and deliveries.

Between June 7^th and June 14^th, work will move inside the construction fence. Access for service vehicles and deliveries will not be affected.

Starting on June 15^th and continuing through June 26^th, the work will once again move outside of the fence at the intersection of Commons Drive and Commons Circle. Access for service vehicles and deliveries will be maintained during this time but traffic patterns will be altered to accommodate excavation through the roadway.

Facilities Management thanks you for your cooperation and patience as we address these necessary upgrades.

Change impacts all aspects of life. Every change brings a chance to self-improve or self-destruct. This session explores how people who know how to manage change have more successful lives.

The Women’s Center at UMBC turns 25 this year! We’re excited to share our important milestone with UMBC’s 50th Anniversary and will be celebrating throughout the year with the rest of campus! We were inspired by Special Collections archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC’s 50th and decided to do our own digging into the Women’s Center archives. Over the course of the year, we’ll be sharing 25 “Then vs Now” archives to celebrate the origin and evolution of the Women’s Center at UMBC.

This week we’re featuring the history of The Clothesline Project at UMBC. 

The Clothesline project is still fresh in our minds with April, which is Sexual Assualt Awareness Month, not being in the too distant past. The Women’s Center had a calendar full of events, including a full-day display of The Clothesline Project

Assistant Director Megan Tagle Adams at this year’s Clothesline Project.

So what has the Clothesline Project looked like in past years?

The Clothesline Project at UMBC gives voices to the experiences of survivors, victims, family, and friends who have been affected by violence. Through the years, The Women’s Center has provided materials for those who identify as survivors to decorate t-shirts that are then added to the project display. This is a national campaign created to address the stories of survivors and the violence that exists all around us, metaphorically ‘airing dirty laundry’. The clothesline is also a historical means through which women discussed domestic violence with other women, signaling the need for help with specific codes on the laundry lines. Traditionally there are specific colors indicating different kinds of survivor’s stories, but The Women’s Center has given space for survivors to use any colors available to add to the project.

What are the memories you have of the Women’s Center over the years that are meaningful to you? What does the Women’s Center mean to you today? Share your memories and pictures with us in the comment section below!

Isaiah 53: 4-6 (NLT)
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.

Jesus took care of our sins, weaknesses, rebellion and our sorrows!
By his stripes, because he was whipped, we are healed.

The Lord’s Supper is all about this passage.

Today’s devotional art is Cornelius Monsma’s Healing Celebration
http://www.monsmart.com/images/healing_celebration.jpg

The Dutch artist says he painted after an illness that Jesus healed.

Absorb the jubilant celebration from the painting.

Let’s live in the Lord’s Supper reality today, living in the life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus.  Let’s be healed.

Prayer: Father, thank you for love.  Jesus, heal me today-for you were whipped so I can be healed.  Thank you for ridding our sins, though you were crushed and pierced.  Thank you for your love.  In Christ’s name.  Amen.
