At the beginning of April, HPL #SWMS members visited with over 250 students in science classes from our local high school. We talked about our pathways into science, and what a researcher looks like. We love inspiring future scientists! #EarthMonth2022 #scicomm #STEM

We hope that as a #SWMS community at HPL we can embody this support for one another, helping our academic sisters grow, both personally and academically.

We learned about how the Three Sisters represent indigenous botany at its finest. Traditional farming methods include planting corn, beans, and squash, together so they are able to grow and support each other in their way to success, similar to sisters. pbs.org/native-america….

HPL #SWMS hosted our first #ThreeSisters potluck lunch yesterday after being inspired #BraidingSweetgrass by #RobinWallKimmerer, which we read as a group over the winter.

The USM is proud to announce that the Board of Regents has named Dr. Valerie Sheares Ashby as the next president of @UMBC! She is currently the dean of @DukeTrinity at @DukeU & will begin her presidency at #UMBC on August 1. Welcome Dr. Ashby! usmd.edu/newsroom/news/…
