Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE)
The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) initiative is a UMBC collaborative departmental effort that consists of two programs: MLE-Series and Multicultural Leadership Cohort Experience (MLCE), which focus on student leadership development through an identity-conscious lens while centering on cultural humility. Campus Life and i3b collaborate to offer MLE to student organization leaders but equally target students with limited exposure to positional leadership. MLE is currently the only leadership initiative designed with unique student experiences, identities, and skills.
SafeZone LGBTQIA+ Allyship Development Training Workshop 
The SafeZone LGBTQIA+ Allyship Development Workshop is designed to help create a more welcoming, affirmative atmosphere for LGBTQIA+ community members of UMBC and beyond. The program includes various activities for participants at all levels of knowledge and comfort with LGBTQIA+ culture, topics, and concerns, from basic terminology, core concepts, LGBTQIA+ intersections, ranging from how to support those in the “Coming Out” process, to skills-based sessions on pronoun usage, to best allyship practices. It includes various distinctions and intersections between sex, gender, sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and other social identities relevant to the LGBTQIA+ experience.
This training is composed of five modules in either a day-long or multi-session structure. Once completed, participants can join UMBC’s formal network of SafeZone LGBTQIA+ Allies that functions similarly to the UMBC OutList. SafeZone Allies will receive a placard to signal to UMBC community members of their commitment of allyship toward the LGBTQIA+ community. Please note that all sessions must be completed in order to receive the placard.
Workshop Wednesdays: Social Justice Skill Development Workshops
Workshop Wednesdays are monthly opportunities for faculty, staff, graduate students, and adult learners to engage in social justice topics that can support their personal, academic, and professional development. All sessions are interactive and designed for skill-building and practice. Through reflective and interactive activities, participants explore their own social identities, consider the intersectional impact, and will develop personal action plans relating to the highlighted topic. This program is particularly useful for UMBC community members who have been looking for ways to learn and engage with social justice-related concepts but have not had the opportunity to through other avenues.
