Several Shriver Center mentions in last weekend's "Education Section" of The Baltimore Sun

Leadership, cultural diversity, and equity matter!

This past weekend, The Baltimore Sun's Education Section featured several Shriver Center-connected programs.  On page 2, "Combining teaching and learning;  opportunities in childhood education abound" highlights the work of The Maryland Early Childhood Leadership (MECLP). Longtime Shriver Living Learning Community junior Vunnathi Ankem, psychology, shares her experience of on-campus dining in "Food for thought:  dining halls celebrate cultural diversity and tackle food insecurity" (page 3). 

However, the article does not mention Retriever Essentials, a faculty, staff, and student partnership to tackle food insecurity in our university community. This campus-wide collaboration includes UMBC students through the Community Engaged Learning and the Shriver Peaceworker Fellows programs.
