Like many of you, I have been thinking a great deal about our operating budget because we are awaiting the budget decisions of the County Council, which we expect within two weeks. I am hopeful the Council will restore some of our funding.
That is why I joined former presidents Charlene Nunley and Robert Parilla in writing an op-ed piece for this past Wednesdays Gazette newspaper.
We believe this county is at a crossroads. The choice is to reduce the Colleges budget in the short-term or, despite severe fiscal challenges, to invest in Montgomery College for a better economic future. I encourage all of you to read the op-ed piece and share it with your neighbors and friends.
All too often, we are considered the Best Kept Secret in Montgomery County. Instead, I say that we want to be the "Best Investment" in Montgomery County.
On Tuesday of this week, I participated in a budget work session with the County Council. I told councilmembers about how Montgomery College helped student Lawrence Caldwell, who recently won the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.
Just last week, the executive director of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation visited the Germantown Campus Honors Convocation to congratulate Lawrence for his achievement. It was an honor to attend the convocation that afternoon to celebrate Lawrence and the other outstanding honors students.
It was also a pleasure to present the annual Presidential Scholar award to each of the campus awards programs. At Germantown the award went to Galya Metanova. At Takoma Park/Silver Spring, I presented the honor to Francisco Segovia.
And next week, I look forward to bestowing the Rockville Campus award to Bertha Flores, and the Workforce Development Apprenticeship award to Timothy Petro.
Besides students, I believe it is important to honor the accomplishments of our faculty, staff, and administrators.
On Monday, I attended the graduation ceremony for the 17th class of the Leadership Development Institute. In these challenging economic times, it is important to continue to provide in-house professional development opportunities, like LDI.
As I conclude, I want to extend a special congratulations to Dr. Brit Kirwan, chancellor of the University System of Maryland. On Thursday evening, I was honored to attend a special dinner that recognized Dr. Kirwan for winning the 2009 Carnegie Corporation Academic Leadership Award. Montgomery College is fortunate to have strong support from leaders like Dr. Kirwan.
I wish all of you the best as you prepare for Commencement next Friday. I cant wait to see your smiling faces under the tent.
Until then, take care!
