New Link - Same Great Group!
UMBC Moms and Parents Group has a New Hyperlink!
In an effort to be more inclusive and acknowledge that childcare/caregiving is not exclusive to mothers only, we have updated the UMBC Moms and Parents myUMBC group link to my.umbc.edu/groups/umbcparents.
We welcome all parents and caregivers to be a part of this myUMBC group!
If you have the old link (my.umbc.edu/groups/umbcmoms) saved in your bookmarks and/or linked to any of your departmental websites, please take a moment to make the updates.
While we've changed our link and welcome all parents/caregivers to be a part of this community, we've decided to still include "moms" in the group name. While we'll keep advocating for gender equity in childcare and caregiving, we acknowledge that too often the bulk of the responsibility for coordinating childcare schedules, filling in caregiving gaps for other relatives and younger siblings, and maintaining household responsibilities still disproportionately falls upon women in many families. To our UMBC moms, we see you, you matter, and we will continue to center you in our work.
