We are hosting a community meeting for Latinx/a/o graduate students to check on your well-being amid ongoing changes. We aim to understand your feelings, questions, and concerns while ensuring the campus provides support. While we may not have immediate answers to issues like federal funding or policy changes, we want to take note of your concerns, identify key campus contacts, and explore advocacy opportunities.
We are also inviting the Latinx, Hispanic, and Faculty Staff Association (LHFSA) to listen to the conversation, as they can help advocate for your needs, share insights on available resources, and collaborate on efforts to support students. See the flyer below.
We hope you can join us! If you can't attend but want to share your experiences and suggestions, please email us at promise@umbc.edu.
Best,
The PROMISE team
