Go far.” We help them to realize their potential, to follow their dreams . to literally go anywhere with the skills they gain here. We are a stepping stone for students to find who they really are, what their dreams really are, and to start fulfilling them. As an institution, we thrive on these same principles. Therefore, we pride ourselves on providing innovative programs, which often become best practices and models for the national and international community. MWCC now unfolds the results of the college’s first-ever capital campaign, which resulted in raising nearly $4 million. Because of the success of the capital campaign and the philanthropy of the community we serve, MWCC received the highest match from the state’s Endowment Incentive Matching program. We have now finished construction and opened the Garrison Center for Early Childhood Education, dedicated the college’s library to Leo and Theresa LaChance, and completed Phase I of library renovations. Furthermore, one of the individuals at the heart of this campaign, MWCC trustee and foundation board member Jim Garrison, received national recognition with a 2006 Benefactors Award from the Council for Resource Development for his dedication to the mission of MWCC.

For decades, we’ve worked to deliver on that mission. But we haven’t always gotten it right. As a public media organization, LPM must strive to represent the community we serve in our staff, programming, community presence and governance. We reiterated that commitment earlier this year in our statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We have made significant strides in diversifying our teams in recent years, but our culture has lagged in fully embracing new and different voices. Throughout our history, we have left out members of our community — from our staff, stories, music mixes and events. We have under-represented Black people and other people of color in what we do, on our staff and in our coverage

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More
    Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More Okee dokee folks… The other day I was behind an SUV that was covered with bumper stickers. I strained to read some of them before the light changed. The one that caught my attention stated, “I’m not old, your music really does suck!” I found it kind of funny and sad, but true. Auto-tuned, computer generated, cut and paste songs just don’t do it for me. They are soulless amalgamations of sound and it is amazing that it takes so many people to fabricate these recordings. I posted a comment on my Facebook wall that stated, “Beck is an artist, Beyonce is a product,” in reference to the Grammy Awards. I ruffled feathers with that statement. From what I understand, Beck’s album had one songwriter and one producer, Beyonce’s had 27 songwriters and 19 producers. She can sing, but a lot of folks can. If you had an army behind you, you could conquer the music business as well. Do I need to say more? Yup, I sound like an old fart. Maybe I am. But like another bumper sticker said, “I may be old, but I got to see all the good bands!” I did. If you want to hear REAL musical artists at work, read on. It’s Fat Tuesday time! Here are two chances to get your Mardi Gras on. At The German Club in Pawtucket on Sun, Feb 22 from 3 – 7pm there will be a Mardi Gras Warm-up. Jeffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys are bringing some red hot Louisiana heat to the German Club, with free Zydeco Bites dance lessons by Jody Rudnick.
