Start Here</story_headline><story_body>&#60;p&#62;Whether you are building a presentation, designing an event flyer or creating a department report, adding the official Montgomery College logo gives your work instant visual recognition and authority.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;You do not need to be a professional graphic designer, or memorize a long list of branding guidelines, to make your materials look crisp and polished. By focusing on just three quick tips, you can choose, place and resize the MC logo every time with confidence.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;1. Choose the Layout That Fits Your Space &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The MC logo comes in two primary configurations so it can adapt seamlessly to different document types:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Horizontal Logo&#60;/strong&#62;: Works best in wide spaces such as document headers, banners, email signatures and top or bottom page margins.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Stacked Logo&#60;/strong&#62;: Ideal for square or vertically oriented spaces, such as social media graphics, centered flyer titles and narrow columns.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;2. Give the Logo Room to Breathe &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;To keep our brand clear and recognizable, always surround the logo with empty space (also known as clear space). Avoid crowding the logo against text, photos, decorative graphics or page borders. Giving the logo a little breathing room ensures it stays readable and makes your overall layout clean and intentional.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;3. Resize Easily in Microsoft Word &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The most common logo mishap is accidental distortion--squishing or stretching the logo so it appears flattened or elongated. When adding a logo to Microsoft Word:&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Drag from the corners&#60;/strong&#62;: Always click and drag one of the four corner handles to scale the image up or down while maintaining correct proportions.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Avoid side and top handles&#60;/strong&#62;: Pulling from the center handles on the top, bottom or sides will stretch or flatten the logo.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;li&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Use the Reset tool&#60;/strong&#62;: If a logo gets pulled out of shape, simply right-click the image, select Format Picture and click Reset Picture to return it to its original proportions instantly.&#60;/li&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;/ul&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Access Approved Logo Files and Video Tutorials &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;You never have to worry about finding the right logo format or high-resolution file.

For students who may not have reliable access to a personal computer, a loaned laptop can be the difference between simply getting by and truly excelling in their coursework.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;We encourage faculty to share this valuable resource with students, especially those who may be facing technology challenges. A simple recommendation from a trusted faculty member can go a long way in connecting students to resources that support their success.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Please note that the number of laptops available is limited and requests are processed based on availability&#60;/strong&#62;. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to maximize their chances of receiving a loaner device for the semester.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Students can learn more about eligibility requirements and submit a request by visiting: &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/support/learning-centers/laptop-lending-program/index.html&#34;&#62;https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/support/learning-centers/laptop-lending-program/index.html&#60;/a&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/support/learning-centers/laptop-lending-program/index.html&#34;&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The Laptop Lending Program is managed by the Digital Learning Center whose mission is to empower students through digital literacy, technology access, and academic support. By providing equitable access to technology, we are helping students develop the skills, confidence, and resources they need to reach their full potential.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Together, we can ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed - both inside and outside the classroom!&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>MClaptoplendingprogram.png</rawname><href>attach/775dce03-87f1-4414-3931-3113f7ce7bed/MClaptoplendingprogram.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/775dce03-87f1-4414-3931-3113f7ce7bed/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail><caption>MC Laptop Lending Program</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/775dce03-87f1-4414-3931-3113f7ce7bed/di_0.png</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>30</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

Soda and cookies? For the price of a short, 10-15 chat with a writing tutor about an assignment you just got, you get a voucher for free food at the Germantown Writing, Reading, and Language Center on &#60;strong&#62;Tuesday, September 15, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Bring a writing assignment you&#39;ve recently gotten from one of your classes. Even better if you haven&#39;t started on it yet! &#34;Brainfooding&#34; is dedicated to catching students and supporting them in the early stages of the writing process: brainstorming, planning, and outlining. Even if you&#39;re confident that you know what you&#39;re doing, a quick chat with an expert just to make sure your ideas are off to a good start can be invaluable and save you tons of time down the road.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;At the WRLC, we see plenty of finished drafts that are due that night or the next day, where it turns out the student misunderstood the assignment prompt and would have to start all over again to do well... Yikes! We want to stop that from being you!&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;So come and have a fast and low-stakes, high-reward conversation with a tutor to make sure you&#39;re getting the best start you can on your paper.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>Brainfooding.png</rawname><href>attach/1e8cf5ff-23ba-08a4-993a-a1214a84f6d7/Brainfooding.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/1e8cf5ff-23ba-08a4-993a-a1214a84f6d7/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail><caption>Event flyer</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/1e8cf5ff-23ba-08a4-993a-a1214a84f6d7/di_0.png</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>10</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

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. I love seeing that because they identify these bacteria by using the skills they&#39;ve learned and mastered,&#34; White said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;White loves teaching at the College. 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/9071f8fb-1481-50c4-6dcf-dce722096734/DouglasWhite.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/9071f8fb-1481-50c4-6dcf-dce722096734/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/9071f8fb-1481-50c4-6dcf-dce722096734/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>10</display_order_in_category><story_summary/>

Since its establishment in 2011, MCRPA has grown into a community with more than 170 members, united by a desire to learn, grow, serve, lead, and build relationships that made a large institution feel more connected.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;MCRPA&#39;s mission has always been both practical and deeply human. We provided professional development tailored to the goals, interests, and evolving needs of our members as rising professionals. We encouraged employees to write their own career stories, practice leadership from wherever they were, share their expertise, serve the community, and form meaningful relationships with colleagues they might never have met through their regular work.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;We continue to stand by our core values of achievement, initiative, professionalism, service, growth, and continuity. In this moment, with gratitude for everything this community has made possible, we are sharing that MCRPA is concluding its current operating chapter and pausing formal activity.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This transition reflects the leadership renewal established in our bylaws and our commitment to responsible stewardship. MCRPA&#39;s bylaws provide for two-year leadership terms and permit one successive term in the same role. Continuity does not mean keeping the same person or structure in place indefinitely. It means carrying forward the purpose, lessons, relationships, and values of an organization so they can inform what comes next.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;At the same time, Montgomery College senior leadership is developing updated guidance for employee resource groups. During this pause, MCRPA will not schedule regular programs, committee meetings, membership activities, or leadership recruitment.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The pause gives us an opportunity to reflect honestly on what we learned and to offer MCRPA&#39;s 15 years of employee-led experience as one contribution to the College&#39;s future conversations about ERGs. MCRPA has never belonged to one president, one committee, or one era. It belongs to every employee who walked into an event without knowing anyone and left with a colleague to call. It belongs to every member who presented for the first time, volunteered, shared a resource, led a meeting, practiced a new skill, joined governance, found a mentor, offered encouragement, or discovered that leadership could begin in their current role.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;We are deeply grateful to every member, leader, volunteer, presenter, partner, and colleague who contributed to MCRPA during its 15 years. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for sharing what you knew. Thank you for taking chances, building relationships, welcoming new colleagues, and making room for people to belong. As MCRPA pauses, we trust that what rises next will carry forward the relationships, courage, and sense of belonging we built together. &#60;b&#62;When we rise, we rise together.&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://padlet.com/mcrpa/mcrpa-summer-digest-cdypxljonzn18i87/slideshow&#34;&#62;&#60;b&#62;Read the Summer 2026 MCRPA Digest&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iHEG1rB3JA&#34;&#62;&#60;b&#62;Watch Learn.
