The program will give audience members an opportunity to think critically and challenge their individual biases while dispelling stereotypes and hopefully stimulating important dialogue surrounding critical issues of identity, equity, retention, and social justice.</p><p><strong>UNITY</strong> is a monthly e-newsletter for and by students who self-identify as being a part of the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park. UNITY aims to inform students about events and opportunities on campus, as well as in the community at large. </p><p>If you would like to be added to be added to the listserv, please fill out this form: <a href="https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/1966128/1700448/"><span>https://app.e2ma.net/app2</span></a></p><p>If you want your event/announcement posted in next month鈥檚 edition please contact: umdmica@gmail.com. </p> </div> </div> <div class="section section-umd_terp_basic_page section-ut_text"> <div> <div class="editor-content" id="umd_terp_paragraph--7055"> <p> </p><p><iframe style="border-width:0;" src="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=hqgp1nuoannboqcg0mdejta208%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> </div> </div> </div> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stampunion.umd.edu/Drupal/styles/stamp/mainmenu.css"><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stampunion.umd.edu/Drupal/styles/stamp/feature_widget.css"><script src="https://stampunion.umd.edu/Drupal/js/stamp/feature_widget.js"></script><script src="https://stampunion.umd.edu/drupal/js/stamp/upcoming_events.js"></script> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="site-footer" aria-label="Main"> <div class="site-footer-main"> <div class="max-bound"> <nav class="site-footer-nav" aria-label="Footer"> </nav> <div class="site-footer-about"> <div class="site-footer-logo"> <img src="/sites/default/files/UMD_SA_Stamp_P1_Color.png" alt="Adele H.
