In commemorating this momentous occasion for the Paul Peck Humanities Institute and the College, our goal is to advance our mission alongside an ever-evolving American historical context. This past summer, Washington, D.C. marked the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with 850,000 fireworks, but we know our Nation&#39;s achievements, contradictions, and struggles of the past will persist in the decades to follow. The story of America is not just one of success nor is it one of failure, and it certainly hasn&#39;t reached its conclusion. Instead, the version of America we celebrate now is a complex tapestry woven from diverse cultures, competing ideals, moments of triumph, and periods of profound confusion and challenge. Few institutions capture this complexity better than the Smithsonian museums, whose collections and exhibitions encourage us to engage with the breadth of the American experience.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Every year, it is our privilege to visit six Smithsonian museums in spring. We often meet with familiar faces, hear recognizable stories, and explore some of the Fellowship&#39;s most beloved exhibits. The content, thanks to an especially dedicated team of curators and educators, is never stale. Instead, new angles are explored, new opportunities arise, and--in spite of their complexity--new political contexts shape our investment and discussion. As we engage with our Smithsonian colleagues--professionals who truly embody the pursuit of a more perfect union--their refrain has remained steadfast: &#34;We are doing the work,&#34; the work essential to showcasing the truths of American history.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Lonnie Bunch, Secretary of the Smithsonian, co-curated American Aspirations, a temporary spring-to-summer 2026 exhibit that kicked off an institution-wide engagement with 250 years of history. The exhibit, which chronicled how Americans have endeavored to honor the ideals shared within our nation&#39;s foundational document, displayed more than 30 objects, each one speaking to a charged history. A terra cotta maquette of the Statue of Liberty, for example, displayed dueling truths. While easily recognized as a celebration of freedom, at its base, the goddess stands on broken chains. To focus solely on the monument&#39;s towering achievement and enduring celebratory message would mask, deny, or even betray the dark history that preceded its creation. Other objects shared in the exhibit included fragments of the Star-Spangled Banner flag, presidential campaign buttons, a shard of Plymouth Rock, suits warn by Amelia Earhart and Sally Ride, a treaty between a Native nation and the United States, and Harriet Tubman&#39;s hymnal. Together, these objects contributed to a complex conversation of American promise, failure, and continued pursuit, a theme that resonates throughout the Smithsonian&#39;s museums this year.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The conversation is nuanced, the kind of intricacy that requires deep thinking, an open mind, expert guidance, careful scholarship, creativity, curiosity, and more, and we as Montgomery College educators are in a special position to influence this blend of student skills essential not only for lifelong learning but also civil discourse and good citizenship. For the 2027 application season, we encourage applicants to learn to teach with the museums; to outfit their curriculum with artifacts, documents, artwork, and more; to reinvigorate student success strategies with high-impact practice; to embrace complex subjects that will invi</story_body><attached_files/>

Our journey through time will show us &#60;i&#62;The Forge of Artemis&#60;/i&#62; (Greece), &#60;i&#62;Hawaiian Wayfinders&#60;/i&#62; (Hawaii, USA), Thunderbird (Din&#38;eacute;/Navajo Land, USA), &#60;i&#62;Jai Singh&#39;s Dream&#60;/i&#62; (India), and more.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This show is the result of a collaboration between astronomers, planetarium professionals, educators, and cultural experts from Canada, China, India, Japan, and the United States. It was created to build cross-cultural connections and increase understanding of different indigenous perspectives while demonstrating how our one sky connects us all. We hope this show highlights the connection between all people who share our One Sky.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;i&#62;Recommended for ages 8+.&#60;/i&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;b&#62;Questions?&#60;/b&#62; Please reach out to Erin Benitez, the Planetarium Lab Coordinator, at &#60;a href=&#34;mailto:erin.benitez@montgomerycollege.edu&#34;&#62;erin.benitez@montgomerycollege.edu&#60;/a&#62;.

Please submit comments by the dates listed below.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The proposed edits to the &#60;b&#62;32207CP: Appointment of Department Chairs &#60;/b&#62;clarify several provisions identified through implementation of the recently modified procedure. The edits do not represent substantive changes to the process or its intent. Rather, they clarify existing expectations regarding preference of appointment for shortened-term chairs, participation in interviews and forums, the Dean&#39;s responsibility for recommending a candidate, application of the process to General Studies, and the timing of notice from chairs who do not intend to return. As is sometimes the case when a revised P&#38;amp;P is put into practice, implementation can identify language that would benefit from greater precision or clarity. These edits are intended to support consistent implementation of the procedure as originally intended. &#60;b&#62;Feedback must be submitted by close of business on October 16, 2026.&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files/>

His interest began when he was a young child.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;My mom recognized this early in my life. One of the first books I can remember her getting me was about Louis Pasteur who was a French scientist and microbiologist. I was 7 years old when she bought the book for me and it was my favorite. Once I took Biology in 7th grade, I was hooked,&#34; White said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He was born in Nebraska. However, he moved around as a child because his father served in the military. White lived in Florida and Delaware before his family settled in Stafford, Virginia. He attended Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia where he majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He earned his master&#39;s in Biology from Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. Then, he received his PhD in microbiology from Howard University in Washington, D.C.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;After he earned his PhD, White began working as a Biomedical Life Scientist for SAIC and as a Patent Examiner for the United States Patent and Trademark Office.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;However, his interest in teaching began when he was working on his master&#39;s degree at Hampton University. He taught some lab classes and said he really enjoyed the experience. White said one of his mentors was Dr. Ed Smith who taught at Hampton.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;His teaching style was engaging and made learning fun. Not only could you talk to him about academics, but also about life. I have tried to emulate that approach in my teaching and interactions with my students,&#34; White said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Once White earned his master&#39;s, he began to teach. His first job was at a middle school where he was a 7th Grade Science and Geography teacher.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;It was the hardest job of my life, and I had worked construction before,&#34; White explained.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;I have such respect for those educators who teach at the elementary, middle, and high school level. I only lasted a year, but it opened the door for me to start teaching summer classes at Hampton University. That led to a full-time teaching position there. It was that job where my love for teaching at the college level was born,&#34; White added.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He began teaching at Montgomery College in 2021. White teaches Microbiology on the Rockville campus. He also is a Senior Lecturer and Coordinator for Introductory courses in the Biology Department at Howard University.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He hopes students who take his classes will appreciate how Microbiology or Biology has useful real-world applications.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;What&#39;s learned does not just have medical applications, but there are industrial and agricultural applications as well that can impact their daily lives,&#34; White said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;After all, White explained, biology is the study of life. &#34;Our understanding of how life is structured, how life functions, how different life forms interact are all beneficial for our health, technology, general knowledge, and so much more.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;He added, &#34;Biology itself is endlessly intriguing, but if I had to pick one thing that I wish I had an answer for, it would be cancer. The disease has affected so many people and I wish I had an answer for reversing the switch that made those cells divide uncontrollably. It is great to have treatments, but it would be amazing if there was a cure.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;White said he feels extremely gratified when his students suddenly grasp difficult concepts.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;In Microbiology lab, students have to figure out unknowns based on the techniques they&#39;ve learned up to that point. For example, they get one gram-negative bacterium and one gram-positive bacterium and have to identify each without my help. It can be nerve-wracking for these students and to see them identify them correctly is awesome. There is such a sense of pride and accomplishment when they get it.

He enjoys the diversity of the student body and he appreciates the chance to work with some &#34;amazing educators.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;When White is not teaching or working, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, fishing, and playing golf.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>DouglasWhite.png</rawname><href>attach/a5babef7-5b61-50d4-8dab-907bfadfee36/DouglasWhite.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/a5babef7-5b61-50d4-8dab-907bfadfee36/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/a5babef7-5b61-50d4-8dab-907bfadfee36/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>20</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

After holding a lead for nearly the entire match, the Raptors ultimately settled for a 1-1 draw following a late equalizer by the Hawks.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Montgomery came out with strong attacking pressure from the opening whistle, creating several scoring opportunities during the early stages of the match. After multiple close calls, the Raptors finally broke through in the 15th minute when a Southern Maryland Hawks defender put the ball into her own net, giving Montgomery a 1-0 advantage. The game settled into a slower rhythm following the opening goal. Montgomery controlled possession for much of the first half, while Southern Maryland managed to generate a pair of scoring opportunities. Raptors goalkeeper &#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/solorzano_madelis_6fsg&#34;&#62;Madelis Solorzano&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; was there to turn both chances away, preserving Montgomery&#39;s one-goal lead heading into halftime.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The second half continued at a slower pace as both teams battled to maintain possession on a humid evening at Alcus Field. Montgomery continued to search for an insurance goal and created several opportunities. &#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/ayala_camila_erzh&#34;&#62;Camila Ayala&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; nearly doubled the Raptors&#39; lead with a chance inside the box that narrowly missed wide right. &#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/buldrini_pasquini_marianna_5u0w&#34;&#62;Marianna Buldrini Pasquini&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; also created several quality opportunities, including a header, but Montgomery was unable to find a second goal.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;With the Raptors holding a 1-0 lead and just over two minutes remaining, Southern Maryland finally found the equalizer. The Hawks broke through the Montgomery defense and connected on a well-placed shot from just outside the box, tying the match at 1-1. Montgomery had little time to respond before the final whistle, and the contest ended in a 1-1 draw.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Standout Performers&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul data-spread=&#34;false&#34;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/solorzano_madelis_6fsg&#34;&#62;Madelis Solorzano&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 90 minutes in goal; made two key stops in the first half&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/buldrini_pasquini_marianna_5u0w&#34;&#62;Marianna Buldrini Pasquini&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 5 shots, 2 shots on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/lopez_sophia_ndtg&#34;&#62;Sophia Lopez&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 4 shots, 2 shots on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/ayala_camila_erzh&#34;&#62;Camila Ayala&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 3 shots, 1 shot on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/erickson_lillia_cr9e&#34;&#62;Lillia Erickson&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 2 shots, 2 shots on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/yanez_katherine_0ycx&#34;&#62;Katherine Yanez&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 2 shots, 1 shot on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/wsoc/2026-27/bios/rodriguez_isabel_uqu3&#34;&#62;Isabel Rodriguez&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; -- 2 shots, 1 shot on goal&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>WSvsSMD.gif</rawname><href>attach/312f9ec4-6179-88e4-392b-306c27a0d2d9/WSvsSMD.gif</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.gif</rawname><href>attach/312f9ec4-6179-88e4-392b-306c27a0d2d9/tn_0.gif</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.gif</rawname><href>attach/312f9ec4-6179-88e4-392b-306c27a0d2d9/di_0.gif</href></display_image><category_name>Athletics</category_name><featured_story>0</featured_story><show_display_picture>1</show_display_picture><display_order_in_category>10</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

Sophomore forward &#60;strong&#62;Oscar Alvarado-Celis&#60;/strong&#62; led the early offensive charge, scoring a first-half hat trick as Montgomery College quickly established control of the match. The Raptors&#39; offensive pressure continued throughout the opening half, with &#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/msoc/2026-27/bios/afonso_ilian_q6il&#34;&#62;Ilian Afonso&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; adding another goal to give Montgomery a commanding 4-0 advantage heading into halftime. With the Raptors controlling the pace of play, goalkeeper &#60;strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://mcraptors.com/sports/msoc/2026-27/bios/shulga_pavlo_e0kz&#34;&#62;Pavlo Shulga&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62; saw limited action during the opening half as Montgomery&#39;s defense and midfield kept the majority of play on the offensive side of the field.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The second half began at a slower pace on the scoreboard, with neither team finding the back of the net during the opening 20 minutes. Montgomery, however, continued to generate opportunities and relentlessly pushed for another goal.
