    <Title>Update on Armed Robbery of UMBC Student</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,<br><br>I am writing to follow up on the campus alert sent earlier this week about the robbery of a student at knifepoint between Commons Drive and Administration Drive. This incident naturally creates anxiety, and I want to reassure you UMBC Police takes every incident seriously, and this crime is being fully investigated.<br><br>In instances such as this, UMBC Police works with our partners in Student Affairs, including Residential Life and Off-Campus Student Services, to ensure that students who have been the victims of crime are connected with any and all services they may need.<br><br>This type of incident is unusual for our campus. Armed robberies on our campus increased from zero in 2017 to three in 2018. While the number of robberies is relatively low, one crime is too many. We investigate all crime reports that we receive. As a result of the investigation into a robbery on campus in September 2018 involving an online sales transaction, we have identified a suspect and will be filing charges.<br><br>We are working to increase UMBC Police visibility on our campus, and our partners in Facilities Management have projects underway to improve lighting, including:</span></div><ul><li><span>Installing new lighting on both sides of Commons Drive;</span></li><li><span>Installing new lighting on the inside of Hilltop Circle from the bus stop near Administration Drive to Hilltop Road; and</span></li><li><span>Installing new lighting in the area between Commons Drive and Administration Drive, where the incident occurred earlier this week.</span></li></ul><div><span><strong>Safety Tips:</strong><br><br>UMBC Police provides an escort service for anyone who feels unsafe when walking on or near campus. If you would like an escort, please call 410-455-5555. If you observe suspicious activity or behavior, contact the police immediately by calling 410-455-5555.<br><br>The UMBC Counseling Center provides free confidential services for UMBC students. If you are in need of counseling services or would like to learn more about available services, please call 410-455-2472 or visit the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/fqj53b/nwtbnbb/ve1z7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Counseling Center’s website</a>.<br><br>The UMBC Police Station is a safe trade location. If you are going to buy or sell items online and make face-to-face transactions, you can make a safe trade by meeting the individual(s) at the UMBC Police Station.<br><br>We encourage members of the UMBC community to keep themselves safe. However, please recognize that conduct violations and criminal acts are never the victim’s fault. UMBC students, faculty, staff members, or visitors who choose to violate relevant policies and laws are solely responsible for their actions. University authorities will make every effort to sanction individuals who violate those policies and laws.<br><br><em><span>Paul Dillon, UMBC Chief of Police</span></em></span></div></div>

  <Title>March 1 session with sexual misconduct consultant team</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span><br><br><span>On March 1, Retriever Courage partners will hold a second information gathering session with </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/v6au7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Jody Shipper, J.D., and Cherie Scricca, Ed.D. of Grand River Solutions, Inc.</a><span>, our consultant team, from 12 to 1 p.m. in the Proscenium Theatre, Performing Arts and Humanities Building.</span><br><br><span>The March 1 information gathering session will be similar in format to the session that took place on February 7. After a brief introduction to Shipper and Scricca and their work on campus, participants will be invited to share ideas, experiences, and concerns with the consultants in order to inform their work at UMBC. This will not be a traditional Q&amp;A format. Rather, the consultants will be listening for direct input from the UMBC community.</span><br><br><span>For those who prefer not to share publicly or are unable to attend the information gathering session, you may use this </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/bzbu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">anonymous Google form</a><span> and your feedback will be shared with Shipper and Scricca.</span><br><br><span>Throughout the spring semester, Shipper and Scricca will review current university processes, policies, procedures, and practices regarding sexual misconduct. This review includes meetings in February with Retriever Courage partners as well as with campus groups that they and </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/rrcu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage partners</a><span> have identified.</span><br><br><span>Based on the information Shipper and Scricca receive, they will help to assess what is working well and where we can learn from other institutions’ best practices and from evidence-based research. This effort will have a broad scope, beyond the specifics of Title IX alone, also including models for prevention and training for students, faculty, and staff, and best practices for providing support to those impacted by sexual violence. Their recommendations to UMBC will be presented to the campus in May.</span><br><br><span>Thank you for your commitment to Retriever Courage and for the input and suggestions you are sharing to inform this work. </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/7jdu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">While some important actions are already underway</a><span>, this work is just the beginning. It is challenging, and it calls for each one of us to be involved, to listen, and to learn from one another, so that UMBC will become a stronger community and Retriever Courage can have a lasting impact on the campus and beyond. There are many different ways to </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/nceu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">be involved</a><span>, such as joining an </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/34eu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">advisory committee</a><span>, participating in educational workshops and training, becoming an advocate for survivors, and committing to being an observant, vocal community member.</span><br><br><span>We encourage those who have observed or experienced sexual violence/misconduct to seek support as needed at any time. There are many </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/jxfu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">resources available on campus</a> <span>and </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/zpgu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">in the community</a><span> that offer confidential medical support, confidential psychological/emotional support, and interim protective measures (e.g., no-contact orders, housing adjustments, academic concerns). For emergency situations, contact campus police via 410-455-5555 or local police via 911.</span><br><br><span>The Implementation Team will continue to share updates on the consultants’ future campus visits and process, additional Retriever Courage progress, and ways to stay engaged.</span><br><br><em>—<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rby3b/nwtbnbb/fihu7n" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage Implementation Team</a></em></div>

    and make great college memories!</p>
    
    <p>While there are countless ways to get involved in student
    leadership roles, including holding positions in student organizations, we’d
    like to highlight some unique “peer advisor” positions on campus that will give
    you the opportunity to share your experiences and wisdom with new students and
    students in transition, and play an important role in supporting student success.</p>

    <p><strong>OAPA Peer Advisor</strong>
    – *Shameless plug for our office, the Office for Academic &amp;
    Pre-Professional Advising!* </p>
    
    <p>We will be taking applications in late February/March from
    students interested in helping to staff our front desk, providing informal
