The Women's Center acknowledges that this event takes place during Passover and we express our regrets to those in our UMBC Jewish community who wanted to attend TBTN but will not be able to this year. For anyone in our UMBC community that is a survivor of sexual assault and would like a space to share your story/experience and/or needs access to resources, please contact the Women’s Center."
