University of Maryland Community Gatherings Next Week in Response to Recent Tragedies

In light of the recent horrific tragedies this week and over the last few weeks, there are a few resources we want to make sure the University of Maryland community is aware of. In addition to no appointment needed walk-in hours at the Counseling Center for students who need support, we are also offering two community gatherings:

A SPACE TO BE

Wed. 7/13 at 4pm-5:30pm, Office of Diversity & Inclusion, 2411 Marie Mount Hall

For Students, Staff, & Faculty

This gathering is grounded in offering you a chance to be in community with others while thinking about what you are doing for yourself and what you are doing with others during this difficult time. We will begin at 4pm by doing some grounding meditation work and have opportunities to connect and support each other based on identity. Co-sponsored and co-facilitated by the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and the Counseling Center. Questions? Contact Jacki Mac at jmac507@umd.edu or Domonic Rollins at rollins1@umd.edu.
