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.&#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 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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;On &#60;b&#62;Wednesday, October 21, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.,&#60;/b&#62; you can drop off your items at the following locations:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;b&#62;Central Services&#60;/b&#62; - Lobby area by the Public Safety desk.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;b&#62;East County Education Center&#60;/b&#62; - Lobby area by the Public Safety desk.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;On &#60;b&#62;Thursday, October 22, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.,&#60;/b&#62; you can drop off your items at the following locations:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;b&#62;Germantown Campus&#60;/b&#62; - In front of the &#60;b&#62;Bioscience Education Center (BE)&#60;/b&#62; near the main entrance.

Students in sculpture and 3D design classes will collaborate in the creation of a shared, site-responsive installation in the Sarah Silberman Art Gallery.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The artist will begin the residency with a public lecture and Q&#38;amp;A, tracing how transformation has shaped his practice, particularly in projects that explore loss, displacement, and the symbolic residue of built environments. Light refreshments will be served.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Amir Hariri was born in Tehran, Iran, and immigrated to the United States to attend college in the early 1990s. After earning a master&#39;s degree in engineering from Cornell University, he spent over a decade working on design projects from concert halls and museums to glass designs for Apple. Amir also spent 5 years studying painting and printmaking at the Art Students League, during which time he served as an assistant instructor and as a member of the board. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, with pieces included in public and private collections in the United States, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, and Japan. In New York, he has exhibited at various venues, including Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice, St. Thomas Aquinas College, Children&#39;s Museum of Manhattan, Denise Bibro Fine Art, FIT, the Painting Center, PS 122 and Wave Hill. Amir&#39;s work has been written about in publications such as Arte Fuse, Hyperallergic, Pank Magazine, the Woven Tale Press and Whitehot Magazine. Awards include the Museum of Arts and Design, NARS Foundation and Greenwich House Pottery residencies, Smack Mellon &#39;Hot Picks&#39; and the NYFA Fellowship.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>HaririAmirartisttalk.jpg</rawname><href>attach/cdf70d4b-ca18-40a4-2169-11b19f7ab156/HaririAmirartisttalk.jpg</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/cdf70d4b-ca18-40a4-2169-11b19f7ab156/tn_0.jpg</href></thumbnail><caption>Artist Amir Hariri</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/cdf70d4b-ca18-40a4-2169-11b19f7ab156/di_0.jpg</href></display_image><category_name>College News</category_name><featured_story>0</featured_story><show_display_picture>1</show_display_picture><display_order_in_category/>

This is incredible,&#34; he said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;That curiosity eventually led him from coding to machine learning and artificial intelligence.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;b&#62;Building with AI&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;One of Zia&#39;s projects started right at Montgomery College.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;For RaptorHacks, he created &#60;a href=&#34;https://study-sync.app/&#34; target=&#34;_self&#34; title=&#34;https://study-sync.app/&#34;&#62;Study-sync.app&#60;/a&#62;, an agentic AI study app designed to help students identify what they need to study and where they are strongest and weakest.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The project earned him an award for Most Technical App at RaptorHacks. Zia also earned an award at Raptor Tank.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He&#39;s also developing ZIZOPilot, a self-driving software project that he hopes will eventually be able to operate a car autonomously. He&#39;s currently working on models and features such as lane-keeping assistance.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;b&#62;Learning and Leading&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Zia is president of Montgomery College&#39;s AI Club, where students learn about machine learning, how AI models work, and how to use and build with AI. &#34;On the mailing list, we have about 106 members,&#34; he said. He&#39;s also an organizer for RaptorHacks.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;For Zia, AI isn&#39;t replacing software engineers. It&#39;s changing how they work.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;It&#39;s more AI-assisted coding, not AI taking over coding jobs,&#34; he said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;b&#62;What&#39;s Next&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;After Montgomery College, Zia plans to apply to four-year universities, including the University of Maryland and Carnegie Mellon University.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;b&#62;Want the Full Story?&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Zia is featured in&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/offices/advancement-and-community-engagement/mctv/podcasts/beyond-the-classroom/index.html&#34; target=&#34;_self&#34; title=&#34;Episode 4&#34;&#62; Episode 4&#60;/a&#62; of Beyond the Classroom, Montgomery College&#39;s podcast about real student journeys.

She joined the College two years ago. Robinson teaches Sociology courses in the Education and Social Sciences Department on the Takoma Park-Silver Spring campus.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Robinson always has had a love for museums and libraries. &#34;As a child, I would ask to go to a museum for my birthday,&#34; Robinson said. &#34;There is something about seeing history and art on display that really scratches the part of my brain that craves a hands-on educational experience,&#34; she added.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Robinson was born and raised in Chicago. She earned her Bachelor&#39;s of Science degree in Urban Studies and Public Policy at Dillard University, a liberal HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) in New Orleans, Louisiana.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;She earned her Master&#39;s in Sociology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. She also is pursuing her PhD in Sociology from the same school.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Robinson moved to the D.C. region to conduct fieldwork for her dissertation.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;My research focuses on identity, memory, and racial meaning at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;She became interested in this topic years earlier after she had visited the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;I saw so many parallels between the experience of Black Americans and that of Black South Africans as they battled against anti-black racism in their respective countries,&#34; Robinson said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;There are parts of the Apartheid Museum that she still vividly remembers almost 7 years later. One of those exhibits is called political execution.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;There were nooses hanging from the ceiling to represent each prisoner whose death was labeled a suicide during the apartheid regime. However, later it was revealed they were killed by law enforcement and the information was hidden,&#34; Robinson explained.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Her trip to the Apartheid Museum made her reflect on her childhood experiences when she visited the The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center in Chicago. One exhibit focused on Fred Hampton who was a member of the Black Panther Party.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;In 1969, Hampton was murdered in his sleep by members of the FBI because of his involvement in the Black Panther Party and his support of socialism. Similar to the Apartheid Museum, the DuSable Museum acknowledged the death of a prominent social activist. However, it did not recognize it as the brutal assassination of a Black Power activist at the hands of the United States government,&#34; Robinson said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;She explained these examples are illustrative of how democratic countries acknowledge race and racism within political and social institutions. This led her to examine the National Museum of African American History and Culture.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Earlier this year, Montgomery College awarded Robinson a Shoenberg Fellowship. She is one of three winners in 2026. Robinson said she plans on using the fellowship to continue her exploration of NMAAHC. She specifically wants to document how the museum with its racial equality mission is perceived and presents itself as it &#34;navigates the increasing tension between the expectation of nonpartisanship and the call to remain true to its social justice commitment.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Robinson said she hopes to complete her dissertation by next year. When her research is done, she plans to share her findings with her colleagues in her department. She also may present some of her findings to the Office of Visitors Service at the NMAAHC.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Robinson said she loves teaching at MC and she feels honored to be a part-time professor here. She always had an interest in teaching.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher, and I frequently tutored high school students,&#34; Robinson said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;While she initially pursued other opportunities after she graduated from Dillard, she circled back to teaching.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;I remained fascinated and inspired by educators, and through the mentorship of a professor at Dillard, I enrolled in a PhD program where I could explore the topics that interest me and teach others. So when I moved to the DMV to do my fieldwork, I thought this would be a great opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills I learned in my program to my own class. It has been an amazing experience teaching at MC,&#34; Robinson said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;She wants her students to walk away from her class knowing they are capable of great things.
