Two years later, he's transferring to Presbyterian College, where he'll continue competing in Division I soccer while earning a bachelor's degree in business management. More Than Soccer As captain of Montgomery College's men's soccer team, Nico learned to balance practices, workouts, classes, homework, and travel. "It's a lot of discipline," he said. "You need to balance everything in your life." That discipline paid off. During his sophomore season, Montgomery College advanced to the NJCAA National Championship, where the Raptors defeated the nation's No. 1-ranked team. The team finished the season, ranked among the top 10 in the country. Finding Opportunity At Montgomery College, Nico found more than a soccer team. He found a community. "Montgomery College has such an incredible environment," he said. "You walk around campus and you see people from everywhere in the world." His advice? Your GPA matters just as much as your game. "If you have a good year with a good GPA, you're going to have the opportunity to go somewhere big." Want the Full Story?

The GLC focuses on cultivating the competencies necessary to lead diverse teams and drive success in dynamic organizational environments by examining the interplay between culture and business challenges. Participants gain access to world-class methodologies and tools that demystify complex human interactions, resolve conflicts, and bridge differences in the context of change, innovation, and stability. The program emphasizes the development of problem-solving abilities that align with individual and organizational values and objectives. Using top-tier research, advanced diagnostic tools, and world-class learning content, the GLC fosters meaningful dialogue and builds essential intercultural leadership capabilities. Admission to the cohort requires supervisory approval and is open to all MC employees--faculty, staff, and administrators. The group meets about once per month until late spring. The final class is saved to present a project that pertains to your personal development or professional goals involving a significant business issue. The cohort experience offers a rich opportunity for MC colleagues to build lasting relationships while deepening individual understanding and mastery of the learning content, skills, and insights. <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/_documents/offices/eass/global-leadership-chohort-application-fillable.pdf" target="_blank">Complete Global Leadership Cohort FY27 Application</a>1glc.JPGattach/e14e18db-c0c3-97e4-ed89-3a83a9c624e8/glc.JPGtn_0.jpgattach/e14e18db-c0c3-97e4-ed89-3a83a9c624e8/tn_0.jpgdi_0.jpgattach/e14e18db-c0c3-97e4-ed89-3a83a9c624e8/di_0.jpgEmployee News0120 79000

The LDI promotes the philosophy that people lead from where they are and focuses on the participants' self-awareness of personality, vision, influencing, building relationships, and interactions with others. The cohort is open to all MC employees--faculty, staff, and administrators--and meets for nine classes during the academic year. The program ends with participants presenting their projects that they self-selected and developed throughout the year and a graduation ceremony. Since 1992, 652 employees have graduated from the LDI with increased self-awareness and self-confidence, an increased network of colleagues, and a sense of team bonding. The LDI always has been and continues to be a program that promotes a one-college view, enhancing employees' abilities to contribute to student success. Be a part of the LDI experience! Note that full participation is expected as a requirement for completion. Only one absence is accepted. Additional absences require the participant to return the next year to make up the missed classes. <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/_documents/offices/eass/ldi-cohort-application-fillable.pdf" target="_blank">Complete the Leadership Development Institute FY 27 Application</a>1LDI.JPGattach/538309a3-ddeb-f214-ed92-799971b6467b/LDI.JPGtn_0.jpgattach/538309a3-ddeb-f214-ed92-799971b6467b/tn_0.jpgLDI.JPGattach/538309a3-ddeb-f214-ed92-799971b6467b/LDI.JPGEmployee News0130 79000

Participants emerge with new knowledge and a common set of skills and abilities that aid in a consistent manner of managing people at MC. Manage yourself, manage others, and manage within the MC system. The program is open to those who supervise at least one regular employee for whom they are responsible as defined in Workday and through annual performance evaluations. This definition includes traditional managers, supervisors, academic department chairs, deans, and administrators. Shift leads are not included in this group, and it is suggested they participate in the Fundamentals of Supervision cohort. While not a requirement, completion of MC Management is encouraged for all supervisors. In addition to the classes, participants engage in experiential learning. In small groups, they visit a department that works directly with students. They spend time with the manager learning about the department's priorities and discussing how the department impacts student success. The participants submit a report of their findings afterward. Note that full participation is expected as a requirement for completion. Only one absence is accepted. Additional absences require the participant to return next year to make up the missed classes. <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/_documents/offices/eass/mc-management-cohort-application-fillable.pdf" target="_blank">Complete the MC Management FY27 Application</a>1mc-first-mentoring-program-photo.jpgattach/eee7f207-7e8c-4bc4-c117-8d0bfa4bdce9/mc-first-mentoring-program-photo.jpgtn_0.jpgattach/eee7f207-7e8c-4bc4-c117-8d0bfa4bdce9/tn_0.jpgdi_0.jpgattach/eee7f207-7e8c-4bc4-c117-8d0bfa4bdce9/di_0.jpgEmployee News0140 79000

"Most people's gateway into science was outer space or dinosaurs. Mine was rainforests and plants. I have no clue how that happened. I had never seen a rainforest, but that is what I was interested in," Dickens said. She credits her parents for exposing her to different activities that sparked her interest. She visited a lot of museums. Dickens also went on trips to the zoo, where she could see people feed and handle animals. Her parents also would take her to science festivals. "I was more interested in events where I could move around, see a lot of different things, do hands on demonstrations, and listen to people speak about their fields," Dickens explained. The Prince George's County native attended Howard University as an undergraduate. She majored in physics. She later obtained her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. Dickens joined the College in 2023. She teaches Principles of Biology on the Rockville campus. It is a blended course, taught part remote and part in person. "My goal is to make virtual interactions for my course as dynamic as the in-person interactions," she said. Dickens became interested in teaching through some of her volunteer work at science expos and festivals. People attending those events would often ask her about demonstrations that were set up. "I realized I enjoyed explaining the demonstrations just as much as I enjoyed creating them. This is what first got me thinking about teaching," Dickens said. She has enjoyed her time at the College and interacting with the students. Some of her best experiences have come when students feel confident and comfortable enough to ask questions in class and challenge assumptions. "My favorite moments are all focused around engagement, both academic and non-academic. I like when students walk in the classroom excited to share updates on that job they applied for, or that video game level they were trying so hard to beat, or the adorable thing their child said to them that morning," Dickens explained. She hopes students will walk away from her class confident enough to ask questions and challenge assumptions. She also wants her students to be confident about collecting data, analyzing it, and drawing their own conclusions from it. Dickens said she has evolved as a teacher. She said she has had many mentors over the years. "I took the methods I most admired from each of them and repackaged it into the teaching style I use today," Dickens said. She knows working as a part-time faculty member can be challenging, and she has adopted a teaching philosophy that she believes pays off in the classroom. "Even though your time is limited, use it to be engaged. Make time to meet with students and find out what their interests are, and try to incorporate those interests into the class," Dickens explained. When Dickens is not teaching, she works full time in the biotechnology field. "Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that combines technology and biology to create and modify products. Advances in medicine, agriculture, scientific instrumentation can all be traced back to biotechnological innovation," Dickens said. Her specialty is molecular biology. Dickens work focuses on nucleic acid detection and quantitation which means detecting the precise measurement or estimate of the quantity, amount, or concentration of a particular substance. "My work detects specific sequences of DNA or RNA and I try to determine how much of it is in a sample of interest," Dickens said. While her interest in biology began decades ago, she is now working in a career she loves, and the icing on the cake is she also is able to share her vast knowledge with her students. Dickens does have some interests outside of her chosen field. She loves to garden, listen to music, read, fish, and go on bike rides.1OliviaDickens.pngattach/698a8456-6316-7d84-ede9-d1bd3b48db44/OliviaDickens.pngtn_0.pngattach/698a8456-6316-7d84-ede9-d1bd3b48db44/tn_0.pngdi_0.pngattach/698a8456-6316-7d84-ede9-d1bd3b48db44/di_0.pngEmployee News0160 79020
