Lord Mayor James Geoghegan welcomed Dr Calvin Ball and a delegation from Howard County, Maryland, USA to the Mansion House this afternoon. Had a good conversation about connections and collaborations between our two countries.

Happy #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth! "We need you," said @ONCD at #HowardCC's Workforce Development and Trades Center groundbreaking. Thanks, Director Coker. Thanks to @HowardCCPrez , government/community partnerships, the Dragons will be well-trained to answer your call.
Director Coker was proud to attend the Workforce Development and Trades Center groundbreaking at @HowardCC yesterday. This is a great example of best practices community colleges across the DMV are implementing to build our Nation's cyber workforce. whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing…

I’m not going anywhere. Dragon Country is my home. @HowardCC
This is a website with anonymous comments leveling racist, sexist lies against our board of trustees and our president. Everybody, from places as high as @iamwesmoore and @arunamiller offices to our first year, first-time student enrollees, knows the success these leaders are inspiring. And it’s a good thing that an overwhelming majority of our community members enthusiastically support @HowardCCPrez and her vision for HCC as a global model for all of higher education. We’re grateful for Trustees Sean Keller, Vivian Lawyer, Chris Marasco, Felícita Solá-Carter, Dr. Carl Perkins, and Del. Frank Turner for their unwavering support of @HowardCC and its progress. Having had the chance to work with this board, this president, and community for a year, I know Dragon Country doesn’t take any mess. And that’s my kind of community. howardcc.fyi/

Congresswoman Lee was a force. I met her in Texas, when I was the Dean of the Lone Star College Centers at Greenspoint and Victory. Those centers were in the heart of her district. She believed in the students there, she provided them international opportunities with a Chinese exchange program; one that I was honored to have been selected to travel with some truly incredible students. We spent nearly two weeks in China because of her insistence that the students of Houston be exposed to the world. What she didn’t know was she was also exposing a newly minted community college administrator to the world as well. This was my first big international trip. When I traveled to DC, I saw her in the halls talking with Congressman John Lewis, once. Both had a serious demeanor, and you knew they were plotting ways to get into good trouble. I can only imagine she is now reunited with her friend and enjoying her reward for leading a life of service. Her presence will not only be missed in Houston, but also right here in Maryland. She was a true champion for community college students. Rest well, Congresswoman Lee.

I began my full-time career in academia at a community college fourteen years ago this coming August. God has been with me every step of the way.

If you still have time to get down to the Columbia Lakefront Juneteenth celebration is a wonderful gathering of all people and communities celebrating American freedom and progress. Good music, people, food, and a genuine appreciation for history - it’s all the things that make Howard County great! #Juneteenth #DragonCountry #HowardCounty
