Description

In light of the unrest following the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Student Life's Mosaic Center and the Women's Center are offering additional safe spaces.  They will take place as follows:
  • Tuesday, May 5th from 4-4:50pm in the Women's Center
  • Thursday, May 7th from 12-1pm in the Mosaic Center
Additional dates and times for other safe spaces will continue to be announced as needed.

We ask and encourage the voices and experiences of Black lives to be centered in these conversations. 

PLEASE NOTE:
Like we did in the fall semester for Ferguson, the Women’s Center and Student Life’s Mosaic Center are hosting several designated safe space sessions to talk about the recent events happening in Baltimore related to the death of Freddie Gray. These safe spaces are not intended to be open discussions or debates. Rather, these opportunities are meant to provide intentional healing and supportive space for UMBC community members to process and share their thoughts, emotions, and reactions as related to racism, institutionalized violence, and anti-Blackness.
