An invitation from the PSS: Listening session on Sept. 20

Dear UMBC professional staff,

We all received an email from President Hrabowski on Monday inviting members of the UMBC community to an open listening session to discuss the recent events regarding sexual assault and misconduct. The PSS supports the university’s effort to create a space for dialogue so that the university community can begin to heal and move forward together.

The listening session is scheduled for Thursday, September 20, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. It is co-organized by a number of campus groups and is open to all. If you would like to learn more about student perspectives on this issue, or share your own story, you are welcome to attend.

If you cannot attend, and would like to contribute to the conversation, feel free to use the form shared in President Hrabowski’s email to share a story or leave a comment or question.

We all react to challenging news differently. Any staff member who may need support can request counseling through the Inova Employee Assistance Program by calling 1-800-346-0110.

Sincerely,

PSS Executive Council
