Rest in Peace, Jane Goodall. It was an honor of a lifetime to have had the chance to meet and speak with you at an event BSOS @ UMD hosted at Univ. of Maryland. Your words about how greatly young people inspired you, and gave you hope, resonated deeply—and gave me hope as well.

While I’m heartened by the dynamic collaboration that is UMD’s Climate Resilience Network, findings are sobering: as sea levels rise, Maryland farmland is at risk. The innovative Climate-Smart Agriculture Dashboard is a unique tool to gain knowledge and data about this threat.

I am very happy to share that Gov't & Politics UMD's Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement (CDCE) is growing to include a new Election Resilience Lab! This dedicated effort to strengthen American elections will undoubtedly expand CDCE's already impressive impact on the American public, & our democracy. go.umd.edu/CDCEerl25

I was honored to connect with faculty and staff at the State of the College event. I highlighted some of the research projects, awards, and accomplishments of the past year. We also distributed buttons, commemorating joining BSOS and working here for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years!
