The events, activism, discussions, support, and stories that stem from Sexual Assault Awareness Month are some of the Women’s Center’s most significant and special. Take Back the Night (TBTN) is one of the largest events the Women's Center hosts every year. To honor this special event that centers survivors stories and healing and invites our community to dismantle rape culture, we created a virtual TBTN experience. 

We invite our community to visit this platform and engage in the visual and audio content. Spend time alone or with others sitting with the reflection questions and action items. Share your thoughts on social media using #UMBCtbtn. 
Join the Women's Center on April 20th at 4pm to be in community as we experience virtual TBTN 2021 together! 

Thank you to the student who shared their voices to make the experience a richer and deeper experience for the UMBC community. Special thanks to OIA staff, Bryan Barnes and Kevin McGuire, who took a glimmer of idea and turned it into a reality.

Abstract
Mentor: Fernando Tormos Aponte, Political Science

After a summer of an important racial reckoning in the United States, there is an increased awareness about the consequences of media coverage and  portrayals of racial dissent. The way that the media portrays protest events shapes how the public understands and perceives those events. The use of insensitive or even implicitly racist messaging among media outlets to portray racial justice events has an impact on public discourse on racial justice. This research uses articles from the Baltimore Sun’s coverage of the Baltimore Uprising of 2015 to examine media portrayals of h Freddie Gray, who died in the hands of Baltimore police, and the subsequent events of the Uprising. I use grounded theory qualitative coding techniques to identify specific framings that connote implicit biases in the media and used these to observe how the Baltimore Sun reported on the racial justice movement, specifically Black Lives Matter during this time period.

Two URA Scholars "let the love of learning rule humanity" Meredith Power and Katie Poteet have been selected as the recipients of the 2021 Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 22 UM-UMBC Shirley C. Sorensen Award.  The students were selected for this prestigious honor on the basis of academic excellence as well as active participation within the university and the broader community, and in their perseverance to succeed and to serve others. These qualities clearly demonstrate the Phi Kappa Phi motto - "Let the love of learning rule humanity."  The award comes with a $1,000 prize. 

Poteet intends to use the funds to help pay her way to a Master's degree at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. "I am very honored to receive this award for my accomplishments at UMBC and very excited to use it to pursue my program in Education, Globalization, and International Development at Cambridge next year!"

The Shirley C. Sorensen Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award is bestowed in recognition of the numerous contributions Dr. Sorensen has made over many years to The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and especially to the former five-campus chapter, University of Maryland Chapter 22 UM-UMBC.

Name: Kathryn Crummitt

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Maryland General Assembly

Position Title: Legislative Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Global Studies and Media and Communication Studies

Current Class Level: Sophomore

Work Term: Spring 2021

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

Due to COVID-19 I am teleworking. I work twice a week as a legislative intern for Delegate Mike Griffith in the Maryland General Assembly during its annual January-April session. A few of my day to day responsibilities are working as a constituent responder, tracking bills, checking the Delegate's voice messages, uploading constituent contacts to a database, and any other side projects that might pop up.

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I used networking to obtain this position. A friend of mine from UMBC worked with Delegate Mike Griffith last session and enjoyed her experience. I had met his Chief of Staff before and emailed her inquiring about the position. In addition, I researched that with this internship I would not only gain experience in state policy and legislation but also earn academic credit by enrolling in the UMBC intern success practicum with Dr. Laura Hussey. 

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I love my work, I have a great degree of autonomy and independence. I can manage my work with my Full-time Study enrollment.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

By being a great listener and sharing what I believe ("as it's an important form of Honesty").

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

Be confident, no one learns by birth, you will get a great chance to learn if you experience it.
