LPRs served under the grant will have a beginning to low intermediate level of English language proficiency. Anticipated countries of origin of learners to include El Salvador, Honduras, China, Peru, and Ethiopia.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The College&#39;s Citizenship Preparation Program uses the Enhanced Integration Tasks (EIT) model to help students integrate into their community. Using a series of tasks, group activities, and volunteer opportunities, students learn what it truly means to become a citizen of the United States.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Montgomery College will continue to partner with Catholic Charities, which provides Immigration Legal Services (ILS) to residents in Montgomery County and the Greater Washington region. ILS will offer naturalization services to approximately 320 LPRs, and assist at least 240 to apply for citizenship over the next two years. The College will also work with local libraries to enhance the community&#39;s knowledge of available naturalization services.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#34;We are grateful to USCIS for its continued support of our Citizenship Preparation Program,&#34; said Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard. &#34;Since 2010, we have served 2,269 students through this grant-funded initiative, helping to train students to understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Montgomery College is proud of its role in supporting these new Americans, whose contributions enrich the multicultural character of Montgomery County.&#34;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The Washington, D.C. area is fourth in the nation as an immigration destination for permanent residents, ranked only behind New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Maryland&#39;s foreign-born population of 857,804 represents 14.5 percent of the total population of Maryland.

This campaign allows the public to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Prescription, over-the-counter, and pet medications are accepted. Although the Nationwide effort is on Saturday, April 25, Montgomery College will provide you with two days earlier in the week to participate.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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&#39;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 drugs.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This year, we made it easier to participate. On &#60;strong&#62;Wednesday, April 22, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.&#60;/strong&#62;, you may go to:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Central Services Building - In the front lobby at the Public Safety desk.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;East County Education Center - In the front lobby at the Public Safety desk.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;On &#60;strong&#62;Thursday, April 23, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.&#60;/strong&#62;, you can drop off your items at the following locations:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Germantown Campus - In front of the BE building near the main entrance.

For instance, how do existing conversations about consent, bodily autonomy, and access resonate with ongoing deliberations about generative AI in higher education and beyond? How might video and image generation technologies like Sora operate as a manifestation and affirmation of rape culture? And what can refusal as a feminist methodology offer as we consider the anti-democratic imposition of data centers, such as xAI&#39;s Colossus in Memphis, Tennessee and its implications for environmental, disability, racial, and reproductive justice?

MC is engaging in a Governance Effectiveness Review, and your voice is an important part of this process.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;How governance connects with other college structures and systems&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Where alignment is working well and where it may need strengthening&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Awareness of how and where to raise questions or concerns&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Experiences with councils, including participation, communication, and effectiveness&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;The overall structure, including the number, purpose, and configuration of councils&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Opportunities to improve how governance functions across the College community&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Format: The session will include small group discussions and opportunities to share themes with the larger group in a supportive, collegial environment.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;We hope you will join us in this important conversation as we continue to strengthen participatory governance at Montgomery College.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Plan to attend the forum(s) in-person or via Zoom on Monday, April 27, 2025&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Takoma Park/Silver Spring: ST 302, 10-11 a.m. https://montgomerycollege.zoom.us/j/99100233375?pwd=V723qXr9jfm8jbzd4UI0pEBmCCTzUG.1&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Rockville: SV 416, 1:30-2:30 p.m. https://montgomerycollege.zoom.us/j/92313046349?pwd=2SG4bZSTyq02nOXmaJEW3egkb8uAhT.1&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;Germantown: HT 216, 3:00 to 4 p.m. https://montgomerycollege.zoom.us/j/94704315848?pwd=mQoSQoH7Na5O6gPuRlHGRbgI09J9Nd.1&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>Join the Conversation Governance Effectiveness Review Discussion_inside MC_040826 (2).pdf</rawname><href>attach/f4386ef6-3c83-cce4-9164-ca294d8c0d7e/Join the Conversation Governance Effectiveness Review Discussion_inside MC_040826 (2).pdf</href></file><caption>Governance Announcement</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image/>

Taking on the full range of challenges with a smaller roster required them to cover multiple cybersecurity domains, adapt quickly between problem types, and maintain strong coordination throughout the competition.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The Maryland CTF brought together high school, community college, and university students for a fast-paced, virtual cybersecurity competition featuring real-world challenges in areas such as cryptography, web exploitation, digital forensics, reverse engineering, and network security.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This win highlights the strength of Montgomery College&#39;s cybersecurity program and the continued growth of the Germantown Cyber Lab. Through hands-on learning, study groups, and competition-focused preparation, students are gaining the skills needed to succeed both in competition and in the cybersecurity workforce.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>MarylandCTFResults.jpg</rawname><href>attach/abefa667-23b7-3bb4-ddd0-145dc8db3a30/MarylandCTFResults.jpg</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/abefa667-23b7-3bb4-ddd0-145dc8db3a30/tn_0.jpg</href></thumbnail><caption>2026 Maryland CTF Results</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/abefa667-23b7-3bb4-ddd0-145dc8db3a30/di_0.jpg</href></display_image><category_name>Student News</category_name><featured_story>0</featured_story><show_display_picture>1</show_display_picture><display_order_in_category>280</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

His parents were teachers, and he has continued in their footsteps at Montgomery College.  Baker&#39;s father was an audiology professor at the University of Maryland.  His mother taught elementary school children in Montgomery County Public Schools.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Baker grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland.  As a teenager and young adult, he served in the U.S. Navy for six years.  He was deployed to Japan on the USS Midway from 1981 to 1986.  Baker worked primarily in the field of avionics which focuses on electronic systems in airplanes.  He specifically worked on radar weapons systems for the Navy&#39;s F-4 Phantom fighter jets.  He also worked on the flight deck as a plane captain.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Once Baker left the Navy, he went to college.  He received his undergraduate degree in 1989 from the University of Maryland where he majored in Government.  Two years later, he earned his Masters of Public Management from the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;After graduating, he began working for the Federal Government.  Baker has worked for the federal government for more than 30 years, mostly in the Information Technology field.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;His interest in teaching began while he was in graduate school and continued for several years.  He worked as a teaching assistant in a number of statistics, economics, and math classes at the University of Maryland.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He joined Montgomery College in 2004.  While his background was in other subjects, he ended up teaching in the English and Reading Department because he had experience as a technical writer.  Baker currently teaches English 101, English 102, and English 103.  He mostly teaches distance learning classes, however, he also has taught some classes face to face on the Germantown and Rockville campuses.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;I have thrived teaching online because it is easier to fit into my busy schedule, but I miss being in person,&#34; he explained.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;His students are mostly first year college students.  He hopes his students will become good communicators.  He advises students to keep their audience and purpose for communicating in mind when they write or speak.  &#34;Concise and well-organized writing also can be helpful,&#34; Baker said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He has thoroughly enjoyed his experience at the College.  &#34;I love teaching in an open enrollment environment with such a diverse group of students who are hungry to learn.  The students want to improve their lives and the lives of others,&#34; he said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He believes the College provides the best education value over a two year period than any other institution in the country. &#34;Montgomery College has a world class faculty full of caring and deeply talented instructors,&#34; Baker said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;During his time at the College, Professor Baker has received wonderful feedback from his students.  &#34;I love it when my students ask me to write recommendations for them, and then come back later to share about their experiences and successes,&#34; he said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;In 2021, the College presented Baker with the Outstanding Part-Time Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching. The College recognized him for his innovative online teaching, compassion for students, and contributions to course design. &#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Baker admits he has a certain approach to teaching.  It is a philosophy he adopted decades ago.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;I will stand by what was taught to me over fifty years ago.  Positive reinforcement works best,&#34; Baker said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He has shown exemplary success in the classroom, and now, the English and Reading Department has tasked him with a special project.  In the fall, he began to develop a microcredential for interested professors.  The work is continuing, but Baker said, &#34;We have developed three first tier badges in creative writing, analytical writing, and workplace/technical writing.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;His appointment is for one year, and he hopes to make progress on the microcredential program in the coming months.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Baker has a lot of outside interests besides his work with the federal government and teaching.  He loves to hike and travel.  He also supports the community in a variety of ways that include addiction counseling, prison ministry, and food recovery efforts.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62; &#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>PaulBaker.png</rawname><href>attach/c096e99b-05d4-bd14-914f-6aec01de0089/PaulBaker.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/c096e99b-05d4-bd14-914f-6aec01de0089/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/c096e99b-05d4-bd14-914f-6aec01de0089/di_0.png</href></display_image><category_name>Employee News</category_name><featured_story>0</featured_story><show_display_picture>1</show_display_picture><display_order_in_category>40</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>
