This campaign allows the public to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. We accept prescription, over-the-counter, and pet medications. Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose, and abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor's supervision. Unused drugs that are flushed down the toilet contaminate the water supply. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment. Take-back programs are the best way to dispose of old prescription drugs. National Prescription Drug Takeback Day is held on Saturday, October 24; however, Montgomery College will hold our takeback events on Wednesday and Thursday of that week to maximize participation. On Wednesday, October 21, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., you can drop off your items at the following locations: <ul> <li>Central Services - Lobby area by the Public Safety desk.</li> <li>East County Education Center - Lobby area by the Public Safety desk.</li> </ul> On Thursday, October 22, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., you can drop off your items at the following locations: <ul> <li>Germantown Campus - In front of the Bioscience Education Center (BE) near the main entrance. In case of inclement weather, go to the SA building, room 269, Public Safety.</li> <li>Rockville Campus - In front of the Student Services Building (SV) next to lot #4. In case of inclement weather, go to the SV building, room 122, Public Safety.</li> <li>Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus - In the lobby of the Student Services Building (ST).</li> </ul> If you can't attend our event, check with your local police department, as they maintain a drop box in their main lobby 24/7. You can also check with your local CVS or Walgreens locations.

Don't miss the latest episode of our podcast featuring MC alumna Brenda Leyva Garcia! When Brenda arrived in Maryland from Bolivia, she didn't know how the U.S. university system worked or how to navigate financial aid. She started at MC in 2018, earned her Associate's degree in Biological Science, and leveraged campus resources like the Renaissance Scholars Honors Society and Phi Theta Kappa to map out her future. Fast forward through a Cum Laude degree at Smith College and groundbreaking genetic research at the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard, Brenda is pursuing her PhD in Neuroscience at New York University (NYU). In this episode of Eleva Tu Futuro, Brenda shares how she overcame language barriers, found life-changing mentors at MC, navigated top-tier research labs as a Latina in STEM, and turned initial self-doubt into a thriving career in science. <blockquote data-path-to-node="5"> "Without fear, I've managed to accomplish so many things... Anyone can do science if you love it and take the time to learn it." </blockquote> <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/offices/advancement-and-community-engagement/mctv/podcasts/eleva-tu-futuro/index.html">Save it to your playlist or listen now</a> on YouTube (with auto dubbed options in English, Arabic, and Portuguese), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Amazon Music.

Advising Day 2026 will bring faculty and staff together to strengthen our shared understanding of student advising, build connections across the College, and expand the network of resources that helps students persist, achieve their goals, and thrive. This engaging professional development event will take place on Tuesday, October 20, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in person at all three campuses and serves as a non-instructional duty day for Academic Affairs and Student Affairs faculty and staff. Through interactive workshops, realistic student case studies, coordinated care activities, and student perspectives, participants will strengthen their understanding of the many resources, processes, and partnerships that support student success. Sessions will explore graduation requirements, General Education, academic program pathways, educational planning, transfer and career planning, financial aid processes, accessibility and accommodations, and key compliance considerations. Faculty and staff will also gain greater familiarity with College processes such as appeals, incompletes, and credit for prior learning opportunities. Attendees will have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from across MC while building practical skills for advising students. Participants will explore advising tools, including Starfish, Degree Works, and Degree Planner, and learn how these technologies can improve communication, coordination, and care across the student experience. Those who complete the program will have the opportunity to earn MC's Advising Foundations badge. Additional details and registration information will be shared soon. Join us on October 20 to learn, connect, and strengthen our collective impact on student success together.1Inside MC - Advising Day article.docxattach/137ade65-4e7f-8444-d9b5-875140c39267/Inside MC - Advising Day article.docxBuilding a Collegewide Advising Network: Advising Day 2026 College News01 80070

Sometimes it's hard to know when a behavior is a warning sign, when repeated contact has become a pattern, or what to do when something just doesn't feel right. This fall, the Student Wellness Center's DVSAS Programming gives MC students a place to explore those questions--without having to share anything personal. Join us for virtual and in-person conversations about digital boundaries, dating and relationship violence, warning signs, bystander intervention, sexual harassment, and healthier relationships. Fall programming includes films, fictional scenarios, anonymous polls, guided discussions, and practical strategies you can actually use. Coming up: In October and November: Behind the Post, Escalation, Should I Say Something? and Stop Sexual Harassment. The remaining fall schedule includes both Zoom and in-person options. Choose the conversations that interest you. Register for one or more DVSAS events at: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/MC-DVSAS-Fall26">tinyurl.com/MC-DVSAS-Fall26</a> One form lets students choose the sessions they want and return later to add another event. All are welcome. Programs are designed primarily for current Montgomery College students.1Oct26_DVSASevents.pngattach/78549d0b-8803-43a4-d587-38a68d4f6d11/Oct26_DVSASevents.pngtn_0.pngattach/78549d0b-8803-43a4-d587-38a68d4f6d11/tn_0.pngDVSAS October Flyerdi_0.pngattach/78549d0b-8803-43a4-d587-38a68d4f6d11/di_0.pngStudent News01 78080
