The Monday Minute with Dr. Williams

March 9, 2026

March invites us to celebrate achievement and community at Montgomery College. This week, we honor Women’s and Gender Studies scholarship recipients during Women’s History Month. And next week, we will celebrate the exceptional contributions of our staff at Staff Enrichment Day. Thank you for the many ways you support our students and one another.

Monday Minute will pause next week for Spring Break and return on March 23.

Women’s And Gender Studies Awards Ceremony
The Women’s and Gender Studies Scholarship and Awards Ceremony will be held this Wednesday, March 11, on the Rockville Campus to celebrate scholarship recipients and honor the On Their Shoulders We Stand awardee. This event recognizes students who demonstrate academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to advancing understanding in ways that strengthen our communities. The Women’s and Gender Studies Program challenges students to think critically, examine systems thoughtfully, and work to build a more equitable future.

Black Family Wellness Expo
Next Saturday, March 14, Montgomery College will host the Black Family Wellness Expo at the Rockville Campus. Supported by The Links, Incorporated, the expo invites and welcomes everyone to access health screenings, wellness resources, and health education. Our nursing students will provide blood pressure screenings, and the community engagement team will share services and information. The expo underscores the College’s commitment to equity, community well‑being, and serving as a trusted community partner.

Staff Enrichment Day
On Wednesday, March 18, we will gather at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus for our annual Staff Enrichment Day. This year’s theme, Exceptional Staff, Extraordinary Impact, reflects the vital role our staff play in advancing student success. The day will feature professional and personal development workshops, opportunities to connect with colleagues across the College, and the presentation of the Staff Distinguished Service Award. I look forward to celebrating our staff community and the extraordinary impact you make every day.

With Raptor Regards,
