Alrifai is currently attending the University of Maryland, College Park, and was recently awarded a Transfer Academic Excellence Scholarship that will cover four full semesters of tuition. As a student, Alrifai spent time teaching Arabic to students at Sligo Creek Elementary School in Silver Spring. She currently works part-time at Chevy Chase Bank as a customer service representative. Born and raised in Damascus, Syria, Alrifai and her family moved to the United States in September 2005 to "start a new life in the land of opportunity." "In Syria, we have been under dictatorship for 40 years," says Alrifai, a government and politics major. "The reason we had to leave the country is because we are some of the few people who are looking forward to making a change, a real change and real difference in Syria." In Damascus in 2001, Alrifai's parents founded the "Tharwa Foundation," a non-government organization (NGO) that promotes democracy and change. They were eventually forced to shut down the organization because of increasing government pressure. Alrifai says she and her family are considered political refugees. Her parents now run the Tharwa Foundation from Washington, D.C. Alrifai has been working at Tharwa Foundation since 2004 and was recently the co-host of "The First Step," a television program that discusses democracy in Syria. In 2006, Alrifai participated in Leadership Training for American Activists of Middle Eastern Background and served as an intern at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Washington. "Without the great opportunity that I had by attending Montgomery College, I would not have accomplished the things I have to this point in my life," she says, "I am very happy and honored to be a Montgomery College graduate, a school that opened my eyes and is helping me accomplish my dreams." Alrifai says she wants to be an active member of the Montgomery College Alumni Association and would like to some day give back to the school that "opened the doors, welcomed me, and gave me outstanding support." She thanks Professors Raymond Gonzales, Shuping Wan, and Karen King for their wonderful leadership and support.1Oula-Alnashar-Alrifai.jpgattach/f7a555bd-a375-ea34-7d49-44113d396130/Oula-Alnashar-Alrifai.jpgtn_0.jpgattach/f7a555bd-a375-ea34-7d49-44113d396130/tn_0.jpgOula-Alnashar-Alrifai.jpgattach/f7a555bd-a375-ea34-7d49-44113d396130/Oula-Alnashar-Alrifai.jpgOther (Do Not Use)Oula.alrifai@gmail.com301-633-5425Oula Alnashar Alrifai is a recent Montgomery College graduate and member of Phi Theta Kappa.

The College community is invited to review the proposal and provide feedback by visiting the <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/policies-and-procedures/index.html" target="_blank" title="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/policies-and-procedures/index.html" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" data-ogsc="">P&P webpage</a> (scroll to the bottom). Please submit comments by the dates listed below. 42005: Student Travel establishes expectations and procedures for College-sponsored student travel beyond College property. It defines the scope of activities covered, identifies roles and responsibilities for trip directors, accompanying College representatives, and students, and establishes requirements for planning, approval, supervision, transportation, accommodations, and incident reporting. The policy also outlines safety expectations, participant conduct standards, liability considerations, and accommodation requirements to help ensure that activities are conducted in a manner that promotes student safety, accessibility, and responsible stewardship of College resources. Issuance of this policy and its procedures will allow for the retirement of 51003: College Out-of-County Instruction, 51004: College Out-of-County Non-Instruction Related Activities, and 51005: Field Trips, which are overly operational, redundant, and include outdated provisions.

We invite all employees and students to participate in an upcoming open forum designed to gather perspectives on how our participatory governance structure is experienced across the College. This session is not about having all the answers. It is about listening, reflecting, and identifying areas of strength and opportunity to inform the next phase of our work. We are interested in your experiences, insights, and observations. During the forum, we will explore questions such as: <ul> <li>How governance connects with other college structures and systems</li> <li>Where alignment is working well and where it may need strengthening</li> <li>Awareness of how and where to raise questions or concerns</li> <li>Experiences with councils, including participation, communication, and effectiveness</li> <li>The overall structure, including the number, purpose, and configuration of councils</li> <li>Opportunities to improve how governance functions across the College community</li> </ul> Why participate?Your input will directly inform the assessment and recommendations that shape the evolution of participatory governance to better support our students, faculty, and staff. Who should attend? All members of the College community are welcome. Whether you regularly participate in governance or have never attended a council meeting, your perspective matters. Format The session will include small group discussions and opportunities to share themes with the larger group in a supportive, collegial environment.We hope you will join us in this important conversation as we continue to strengthen participatory governance at Montgomery College.
