    <Title>Celebrating National Coming Out Day!</Title>
    <Tagline>Calendar of Events</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><div>October
           is National LGBT History Month!  Also observed during this month is 
          National Coming Out Day (October 11th), an international day of 
          awareness celebrating the coming out of LGBT individuals.  <br>
          
          <br></div>In recognition of this day - and month - the Office of Student
           Life's Mosaic Center has planned various events/programs during the 
          week (October 8th - October 12th) of National Coming Out Day.  I would 
          like to highlight three of those events:<br>
          <br><em><strong>LGBT Awareness Resource Fair</strong></em>:  This fair will be 
          taking place next Wednesday (October 10th) during free hour (12pm - 1pm)
           on Commons Mainstreet.  This fair is a part of the Diversity Awareness 
          Month Cultural and Resource Fairs sponsored by various campus partners. 
           Campus departments and student organizations will be providing 
          information related to the outreach and support they offer to LGBT 
          students.<br>
          <br><em><strong>Giveaways! (with the Graduate Coordinator for LGBTQ Programs):</strong></em> 
           Get to know me (Oteri Esiekpe), the Graduate Coordinator for LGBTQ Programs, and pick 
          up some goodies (buttons, cookies, slap bracelets, and many more!).  
          Please remember that my new office is located on the 3rd floor of The 
          Commons, Suite 336.<br>
          <br><em><strong>Come Out Speak Out:</strong></em>  To honor LGBTQ History Month and 
          National Coming Out Day the Women's Center is collecting your stories 
          and experiences! Stop by their table at the Resource Fair or the Center 
          anytime after 1pm on October 10th or anytime on October 11th to share 
          your story!<br>
          
          <br>Please take a look at the attached flyer for more information on all
           the events taking place next week.  Also, feel free to share this with 
          those who might be interested. <br></div>

    <Title>Black Pride Events in Baltimore, MD</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><span>STAR 
          TRACK is a HIV/STI program within the Division
           of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at the University of Maryland, 
          Baltimore. We set out to create safe-space events to cater to youth and 
          young adults between the ages of 12-24. While many institutes of higher 
          education are familiar with Baltimore Pride
           Fest, an annual summer event, few are aware of Black Pride which occurs
           in October. We are proud to say that we support and contribute to both 
          by creating events that focus on young adults.  This year we will host 
          a  Karaoke night as well as a self-defense/work-out
           session.  Knowing students’ ravenous appetites, pizza will be available
           at the karaoke event. In addition, both of our events will be held in 
          downtown venues for transportation accessibility. In addition, on Sept 
          27<sup>th</sup> we will be tabling and testing
           for HIV/STI on Goucher College’s campus. This event like the others is 
          open to the community.   More information on each event can be found on 
          the attached flyers.<br><br>For more information, please contact:<br></span><p><span>Whitney Burton, MPH
