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.

Montgomery College&#39;s Office of Public Safety, Health and Emergency Management is where transparency builds trust and insight drives prevention. This session will explore how clear, accessible safety data empowers the College to better understand trends, strengthen accountability, and foster shared responsibility. By highlighting how data is collected, reported, and used, our commitment to openness and data-informed decision-making is demonstrated. Mr. Reid will examine how meaningful analysis moves his unit from reactive responses to proactive prevention. Come and discover how trends, patterns, and community feedback shape targeted strategies that enhance safety, improve communication, and create a more secure and supportive environment across all MC campuses and locations. Join this discussion and learn how MC turns information into action and reinforces our collective commitment to safety and trust.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This Zoom session will review Montgomery College&#39;s Annual Security Report (2025) and covers how data informs prevention strategies, resource allocation, and communication.

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/26a5801b-b9e9-2e54-0140-ea56d84e6f47/PaulBaker.png</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.png</rawname><href>attach/26a5801b-b9e9-2e54-0140-ea56d84e6f47/tn_0.png</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.png</rawname><href>attach/26a5801b-b9e9-2e54-0140-ea56d84e6f47/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/>
