Women's History Month Celebration: Beyond "Herstory"
Organizing Our Next Revolution
Tuesday, March 3, 2020 · 5:30 PM - 7 PM
Join the Women's Center for a celebration of Women's History Month! As we celebrate the centennial of the 19th Amendment (which gave (white) women the right to vote), we are thinking about how far we've come, and how much farther we need to go.
We are also excited to be joined by our special guest speaker: Dr. Maria Celleri of the Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies Department.
During this event, we will learn more about gender justice and liberation, enjoy refreshments, and network among other student leaders. RSVP HERE

You've probably heard about the wage gap. You know, the part where men and women often get paid differently for doing the same job? The gap is even bigger for people of color and people with disabilities. What can you do, besides wringing your hands and hoping you don't fall in?
Learn to negotiate your salary, that's what! Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) is bringing another edition of Start Smart to UMBC. The workshop presenter will guide us as we learn how to ask for what we're worth, even in this tight job market, and help all of us avoid one of the most common pitfalls for new employees: failing to negotiate that starting salary. Don't let this happen to you!
**Please note that this event is geared towards those who identify as women. The event is open to all genders we just ask that you be mindful that the gender pay gap does not affect men as it does women. Women and their allies are strongly encouraged to come!**
