    <p><strong>The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion &amp; Belonging (i3B), that seeks to: </strong></p>
    <p><strong>Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program; <br>Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead; <br>And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference. </strong></p>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>The sessions are as follows:<div> </div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <div>- Meeting #1: Monday, February 12th, 3pm - 4:30pm</div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by: </div>
    <ul>
    <li>Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;</li>
    <li>Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;</li>
    <li>Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections; </li>
    <li>And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups</li>
    </ul>
    <div> </div>
    <div>The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!   </div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear UMBC Community, </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As the weather grows colder, we want to take this opportunity to update you on UMBC's response to inclement weather and our policies and procedures for weather-related delays and closures. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you have not done so already, please sign up for our <a href="https://umbc.omnilert.net/subscriber.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">emergency text alerts</a>. This is the most effective way to receive urgent updates for weather-related delays, closures, and campus emergencies. In addition to text alerts, we will also post alerts on both the UMBC homepage and myUMBC. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please note that the decision to close campus or open late applies to the UMBC campus only. For community members not located on campus, please follow the protocols for your specific location. This includes: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>
    <strong>UMBC-Shady Grove</strong> -- Visit the <a href="https://shadygrove.umd.edu/campus-resources/public-safety/campus-alerts" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Universities at Shady Grove campus alerts website</a>. </li>
    <li>
    <strong>bwtech@UMBC</strong> -- Email <a href="mailto:crice@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">crice@umbc.edu</a> to sign up for the bwtech@UMBC text alert system. </li>
    <li>
    <strong>Rita Rossi Colwell Center</strong> -- The Colwell Center follows <a href="http://www.ubalt.edu/about-ub/offices-and-services/university-police/campus-safety/emergencies/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University of Baltimore's policies and procedures</a> during inclement weather due to its proximity. </li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>When it becomes necessary to close the campus for inclement weather, employees designated as essential personnel must report. Decisions about Administrative Leave for all other employees will be made based on the weather conditions that day and communicated accordingly. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If campus remains open, please use personal judgment when traveling to and from campus as weather and road conditions vary by your personal location. The decision about whether it is safe to travel ultimately rests with each individual. Please be sure to communicate early and often with your supervisor should you have any concerns. It is our goal to keep you safe and warm this winter. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Read more about <a href="https://umbc.edu/about/inclement-weather-emergency-closing-policy/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC's policies and procedures</a> for inclement weather, including information on how and when decisions are made, response plans, and details on how delays and closures impact events, parking, and more. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Wishing you and your families a happy and healthy season. </div>

    <div class="html-content"><span><div><span>The fall 2023 Spotlight! Symposium, titled <em>Beyond the Veil: Making Sense of the Spirit World</em>, aimed to explore the history of human interaction (beliefs and practices) with supernatural, para-normal, mystic, and psychic phenomena, as well as the intersection of race, spiritualities, magic, mysticism and feminist expression with the otherworldly.
    
    The inspiration for the theme came from the Library’s Special Collections’ holdings, including the Eileen J. Garrett Para-psychology Foundation Collection.</span></div>

      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">First of all I want to thank all of those who provided feedback concerning the DocuSign emails going into the SPAM folder.<div><br></div>
          <div>DoIT system folks have added DocuSign to the list of OK emails and hope that the Google email system will begin using that to avoid the SPAM designation.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Another action that can be done is users reporting the emails in their SPAM folders as Not SPAM. Here is a message from DoIT's Andy Leeds on this option: "<span>Users marking the messages as not spam is also supposed to help the Google AI learn to not spam them"</span>
          </div>
          <div><span><br></span></div>
          <div>Also please remember you can go to <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/docusign">http://my.umbc.edu/go/docusign</a> which puts you inside the DocuSign Portal where you can see all your envelopes in the various statuses and sign ones in the Action Required status.</div>
