The list of authors/scholars who The College Board has eliminated from AP African American Studies.

One has to think the timing of the announcement with Black History Month is not a coincidence.

Linguistics prof. Colin Phillips & English alum Jason Reynolds News appear in this piece about Planet Word Museum & the importance of language. Phillips is part of a team of researchers from UMD, Gallaudet University & Howard University creating a lab to study language at the museum.

Truly delightful evening welcoming incoming Maryland Arts & Humanities Dean Stephanie Shonekan and husband Tomiwa to Univ. of Maryland with a dinner followed by an excellent NOI Festival concert The Clarice. Conductor-less performances were outstanding!

I regularly have conversations with PhDs thinking about going into admin and staff jobs at colleges & universities so I am going to do a little thread about things that come up in these conversations!

Enjoyed my Sunday University of Maryland Music’s Choral Showcase! What a special event—the last for Director of Choral Activities Edward Maclary after two decades of service and a homecoming for Jason Ferdinand ’15 who studied w/ Maclary and will lead the choral program starting this fall.

What a day! Thank you for spending time with the arts today! 🎉

Looking for something to do this weekend? Join me Univ. of Maryland for our annual #MarylandDay ! I plan to check out the ArtsWalk, CollegeParkScholars student art, ink making demos, immersive language experiences, music and dance in The Clarice and more!

Congratulations to you both! I’m so happy your work is being recognized in this way! 🎉🎉
