She is a conservationist, environmentalist, avian expert, and naturalist.</p> <p>Wynia has taught several courses in Biology since joining the College in 2020. Those include Principles of Biology I, Natural Science of the Chesapeake Bay, and Environmental Biology. Wynia lives in Cedar Springs, Michigan and only teaches remotely. She joined the College when the pandemic struck. The Biology Department had a remote teaching job available and hired Wynia. She has been part of the College community ever since.</p> <p>She grew up in Michigan and became interested in wildlife when she was a child. She and her father would spend time outdoors, and Wynia developed a love for nature.</p> <p>After finishing high school, Wynia attended the University of Rhode Island where she earned a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Wildlife Conservation Biology. She also minored in Botany. She then went on to earn her Masters of Science in Biology with a focus in Ornithology from Arkansas State University. Wynia then pursued her doctorate in Biology with a focus in Ornithology from the University of North Texas.</p> <p>Wynia is an avian ecologist. She loves studying and learning about birds. Her favorite bird is the Magellanic Woodpecker. She studied this species as part of her dissertation research in southern Chile.</p> <p>"They are the largest woodpeckers in South America, and in my opinion are a charismatic and striking species. The male has a bright, red head, and the female has a black curly crest. I not only appreciate their beauty, but the value they bring to their ecosystems," Wynia explained.</p> <p>She is not a fan of House Sparrows or other invasive species. Wynia does not appreciate birds that she said "outcompete native species for resources."</p> <p>Studying nature is not a risk free adventure. Wynia conducted a lot of fieldwork as she pursued her graduate degrees.</p> <p>While in Arkansas, "I was working in forests with many dangerous and sometimes difficult species. I encountered bears, alligators, feral hogs, venomous snakes, poison ivy, mosquitoes and ticks. Not all these species were scary, but they definitely made fieldwork more interesting and challenging," she said.</p> <p>While people routinely see birds flying in the air, individuals may not know how important they are in nature.</p> <p>"Birds have instrumental value to people. For example birds help pollinate plants, disperse seeds, reduce human stress, and provide aesthetic value. Birds are essentially the only taxonomic group that is easy to observe in many habitats. We can find birds on every continent," Wynia said.</p> <p>She explained birds have many interesting behaviors. For example, crows can remember people's faces and can solve puzzles.</p> <p>"Many avian species can mimic sounds and words, and many make incredibly intricate nests. Unfortunately many avian species have declined and are threatened due to climate change," she said.</p> <p>Wynia enjoys passing on her knowledge about nature to her students. When she was an undergraduate, she was inspired to teach by her Wetland Ecology Professor, Dr. Frank Golet.</p> <p>"He was an amazing professor who cared deeply about his students, and I wanted to instill that passion, excitement, and care in students," Wynia said.</p> <p>"I hope students experience my enthusiasm for science and teaching. I hope it inspires them to find something about which they are equally passionate and enthusiastic. I also hope students experience a relaxing, respectful environment where diverse backgrounds are welcome," Wynia explained.</p> <p>She holds her students to high standards while making sure they reach their academic goals.</p> <p>"I want them to be successful professionally and personally which is why I stress the importance of deadlines, professional communication, and advocating for themselves. I want my students to finish my course with a strong understanding of the material. I also want them to know I cared about them and supported them to the best of my ability," Wynia said.</p> <p>When Wynia is not teaching, she enjoys observing birds in nature and being outdoors. She also enjoys traveling and learning new cultures. In addition, she said she loves to cook, bake, camp, hike and curl up with a good book.</p>1AmyWynia.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/AmyWynia.pngtn_0.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/tn_0.pngdi_0.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/di_0.pngEmployee Newselizabeth.feldman@montgomerycollege.edu301-646-8551 125558 Monday, May 4, 2026 emailArticle.php?articleToEmail=125558 details.php?id=125558&title=Part-time_Faculty_May_Spotlight 0Employee Newsemployeenews 7https://go.activecalendar.com/montgomerycollege/Montgomery CollegeTreat yourself before finals week and enjoy delicious sweets.https://go.activecalendar.com/montgomerycollege/site/germantown/event/treat-yourself/d574e1c5-592d-4a72-a74f-4f7bf6500b1cMon, 04 May 2026 15:00:00 GMTFree snacks + good vibes + resources you actually need?

A highlight of the event will be a student panel, where students will share their advising needs, reflect on their experiences, and offer insights into what has most effectively supported their success. Their perspectives will help ground the conversation in the lived realities of MC students and reinforce the importance of coordinated, student-centered advising.</p> <p>In addition to the student panel, members of the Academic Advising Leadership Team will present the proposed model and outline the roles and responsibilities of program advisors, counselors, and success coaches within this holistic advising framework. Participants will then engage in breakout sessions focused on advising roles and responsibilities, with opportunities to provide input about the model's design and identify gaps, resource needs, and professional development priorities. This collaborative dialogue is designed to ensure that the framework reflects the expertise of MC employees while advancing a shared vision for holistic student support.</p> <p>Everyone is welcome!

He sadly passed away on March 5, 2026, after a short bout with a very aggressive cancer.</p> <p>Since joining Montgomery College (MC) in 1986, Annis taught at all three MC campuses, primarily at Rockville. He was a cornerstone of the institution. A professor of history and political science, he also served as chair of the Department of History and Political Science and earned recognition as an expert on local and national politics. The College recognized his commitment to scholarship and teaching when he earned the 2022-2023 Outstanding Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarly or Professional Accomplishments--an honor that reflected both his academic work and his decades of service.</p> <p>Learn more about his life and legacy here: https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/news/features/honoring-dr-james-lee-annis-at-mc.html</p>2LeeWithFormerStudent.jpgattach/4eaf3b0c-3471-7784-b90a-f12c41e056b0/LeeWithFormerStudent.jpgtn_0.jpgattach/4eaf3b0c-3471-7784-b90a-f12c41e056b0/tn_0.jpgLeeAnnisBookSigning.jpgattach/4eaf3b0c-3471-7784-b90a-f12c41e056b0/LeeAnnisBookSigning.jpgtn_1.jpgattach/4eaf3b0c-3471-7784-b90a-f12c41e056b0/tn_1.jpgdi_0.jpgattach/4eaf3b0c-3471-7784-b90a-f12c41e056b0/di_0.jpgCollege News0160 80090 Monday, May 4, 2026 emailArticle.php?articleToEmail=127320 details.php?id=127320&title=40_Years_of_Excellence:_Honoring_the_Life_and_Legacy_of_Professor_Lee_Annis a9fe1055-e14a-fb54-a532-eb5ebc5ab43c1273212026-05-04 00:00:01.000Ezra PineJoin Us on Tuesday, May 5 for Dogfishing for MC Scholarships!<p>Looking for a way to give back &amp; connect with fellow students?

She is a conservationist, environmentalist, avian expert, and naturalist.</p> <p>Wynia has taught several courses in Biology since joining the College in 2020. Those include Principles of Biology I, Natural Science of the Chesapeake Bay, and Environmental Biology. Wynia lives in Cedar Springs, Michigan and only teaches remotely. She joined the College when the pandemic struck. The Biology Department had a remote teaching job available and hired Wynia. She has been part of the College community ever since.</p> <p>She grew up in Michigan and became interested in wildlife when she was a child. She and her father would spend time outdoors, and Wynia developed a love for nature.</p> <p>After finishing high school, Wynia attended the University of Rhode Island where she earned a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Wildlife Conservation Biology. She also minored in Botany. She then went on to earn her Masters of Science in Biology with a focus in Ornithology from Arkansas State University. Wynia then pursued her doctorate in Biology with a focus in Ornithology from the University of North Texas.</p> <p>Wynia is an avian ecologist. She loves studying and learning about birds. Her favorite bird is the Magellanic Woodpecker. She studied this species as part of her dissertation research in southern Chile.</p> <p>"They are the largest woodpeckers in South America, and in my opinion are a charismatic and striking species. The male has a bright, red head, and the female has a black curly crest. I not only appreciate their beauty, but the value they bring to their ecosystems," Wynia explained.</p> <p>She is not a fan of House Sparrows or other invasive species. Wynia does not appreciate birds that she said "outcompete native species for resources."</p> <p>Studying nature is not a risk free adventure. Wynia conducted a lot of fieldwork as she pursued her graduate degrees.</p> <p>While in Arkansas, "I was working in forests with many dangerous and sometimes difficult species. I encountered bears, alligators, feral hogs, venomous snakes, poison ivy, mosquitoes and ticks. Not all these species were scary, but they definitely made fieldwork more interesting and challenging," she said.</p> <p>While people routinely see birds flying in the air, individuals may not know how important they are in nature.</p> <p>"Birds have instrumental value to people. For example birds help pollinate plants, disperse seeds, reduce human stress, and provide aesthetic value. Birds are essentially the only taxonomic group that is easy to observe in many habitats. We can find birds on every continent," Wynia said.</p> <p>She explained birds have many interesting behaviors. For example, crows can remember people's faces and can solve puzzles.</p> <p>"Many avian species can mimic sounds and words, and many make incredibly intricate nests. Unfortunately many avian species have declined and are threatened due to climate change," she said.</p> <p>Wynia enjoys passing on her knowledge about nature to her students. When she was an undergraduate, she was inspired to teach by her Wetland Ecology Professor, Dr. Frank Golet.</p> <p>"He was an amazing professor who cared deeply about his students, and I wanted to instill that passion, excitement, and care in students," Wynia said.</p> <p>"I hope students experience my enthusiasm for science and teaching. I hope it inspires them to find something about which they are equally passionate and enthusiastic. I also hope students experience a relaxing, respectful environment where diverse backgrounds are welcome," Wynia explained.</p> <p>She holds her students to high standards while making sure they reach their academic goals.</p> <p>"I want them to be successful professionally and personally which is why I stress the importance of deadlines, professional communication, and advocating for themselves. I want my students to finish my course with a strong understanding of the material. I also want them to know I cared about them and supported them to the best of my ability," Wynia said.</p> <p>When Wynia is not teaching, she enjoys observing birds in nature and being outdoors. She also enjoys traveling and learning new cultures. In addition, she said she loves to cook, bake, camp, hike and curl up with a good book.</p>1AmyWynia.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/AmyWynia.pngtn_0.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/tn_0.pngdi_0.pngattach/50c04b18-3859-6864-edcd-04b13ee61753/di_0.pngEmployee News0110 790110 Monday, May 4, 2026 emailArticle.php?articleToEmail=125558 details.php?id=125558&title=Part-time_Faculty_May_Spotlight 06fdd62c-5fb4-2e34-b5ab-1f83afac769c1272972026-05-04 00:00:01.000Michelle ChanJoin the AANHPI Book Club - Fall 2026<p></p> <p>Join the <a href="https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/events/asian-pacific-heritage/" target="_blank">MC Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander</a> (AANHPI) Book Club this fall as we dive into Yoko Ogawa's <em>The Memory Police</em>, a captivating dystopian novel about the horrors of state surveillance from one of Japan's most notable writers.

Following a recent evening outing, the team received a complimentary email from local educator Katie White, a Pre-K teacher, highlighting the team's positive impact during a fundraiser at McDonald's.</p> <p data-start="439" data-end="736">The restaurant was hosting a "McEducator Night," where a portion of sales during a designated two-hour period supported a local PTA fundraiser. According to White, the Raptors initially hesitated to enter due to the busy atmosphere, but ultimately decided to come in and place a large group order.</p> <p data-start="738" data-end="947">What made the experience unforgettable was the timing. The team completed their order with just 14 seconds remaining before the fundraiser ended--allowing their purchase to count toward the PTA donation effort. As the countdown unfolded, the entire restaurant rallied behind the team, cheering them on as they placed their order. When the final transaction was completed in time, the restaurant erupted in applause, creating a fun and uplifting moment for everyone in attendance.</p> <p data-start="1219" data-end="1377">White praised the team's enthusiasm and willingness to participate, noting that the student-athletes represented the College in a positive and meaningful way. Moments like these reflect the Raptors' commitment to community engagement and demonstrate how small actions can leave a lasting impression beyond the field.</p>1BaseMainPhoto.pngattach/2fbccbcc-91f9-bb24-09aa-1db337f43cd7/BaseMainPhoto.pngtn_0.pngattach/2fbccbcc-91f9-bb24-09aa-1db337f43cd7/tn_0.pngdi_0.pngattach/2fbccbcc-91f9-bb24-09aa-1db337f43cd7/di_0.pngAthletics0130 81060 Monday, May 4, 2026 emailArticle.php?articleToEmail=127295 details.php?id=127295&title=Baseball_Team_Praised_for_Community_Spirit_During_Local_Fundraiser 69767796-7bf4-9d84-094b-c024f954ee691272852026-05-04 00:00:01.000Jorge ZunigaBaseball: Raptors Doubleheader Dominance<p><strong>Germantown, MD -</strong> With the regular season winding down and postseason play approaching, the Montgomery College Raptors delivered one of its most complete performances of the year, sweeping a home doubleheader against CCBC Dundalk in dominant fashion.</p> <p data-start="324" data-end="604">Montgomery exploded for 43 total runs across two games while allowing just two runs combined, including a complete shutout in Game 1.
