The crisis and perils in the disputed territory of Kashmir are on the minds of TCS Students as they worry about the potential for a widening or even nuclear escalation. To learn more, check out this lead story in the week’s TCS Student News.  This edition has a spotlight on TCS Alumni and Trustee Dyrrell Moon and a report on a very special Conversation with Congressman Kweisi Mfume that was followed by one with his District Director Ray Conaway. Other news includes an update on a very special art class with Ms. Leandra.

This week’s edition of TCS Student News was produced by Quinn Guilfoyle and Ruth Rivas with production assistance by Rhys Guilfoyle.

Mayor Brandon Scott made a return visit to the school today for a Conversation with the students. He was scheduled to stay for an hour, but generously extended his stay for another half hour.
After the students introduced themselves with some detail, the Mayor shared about his early life through his political career. Mayor Scott then took questions from the students about issues on their minds from local ones like education, crime, housing and the key bridge to national issues like the impact of tariffs and federal job cuts.
The students were also interested in what it is like to serve in government including the challenges of leadership, dealing with tragedies and how to balance the demands with family life. Through it all, the Mayor was candid and engaging, offering the students keen insights and sharing personal experiences.
This was a really meaningful conversation and one the students will never forget. Our thanks to Mayor Brandon Scott and his team for this wonderful opportunity.

We were honored to have Congressman Kweisi Mfume return to TCS for a Conversation with the students today. After some extensive personal introductions by the students and the Congressman, there was a lively discussion. The students had many questions about many of the issues of the day and the experiences of a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Each student appreciated the personal encouragement and advice from Congressman Mfume as well as his candid sharing about his life ass a young man in Baltimore.
We also met and had a conversation after with Ray Conaway, the District Director of the Congressional Offices here in Baltimore. He shared information about his role and opportunities for young people to be involved and heard in politics.
Thank you Congressman Mfume for your generosity of time with us and your many decades of public service.

The death of Pope Francis and choosing of a new Pope for the Roman Catholic Church  is the main story in this week’s edition of TCS Student News.  Stories around TCS include a special Zoom session in commemoration of Yom HaShoah with Larry Gross, a Conversation with Susama Agarwala and another with Berman McAleer cofounder David Berman, a Spotlight on Lisa Knickmeyer, a walking tour of Remington with Professor Craig Shiffert and more.

Berman McAleer co-founder and CEO David Berman joined the students for this week’s Financial Literacy Seminar.  The students shared knowledge with David and Kathleen Gower, seminar coordinator, that they have gained in the course this year. Learning about banking, debt and loans, investment, taxes and more have all been very valuable.

The majority of this seminar was a Conversation with David Berman about his life’s journey from early education into career up to the present.  The students were very interested in what it takes to be a successful CEO and operatae a positive workplace culture.

We deeply appreciate our enduring relationship with Berman McAleer and their advancement of our students’ knowledge of all things financial.

Susama Agarwala was back for Part 2 of her conversation with the students.  This time it was more focused on her family life , education and career. The students were particularly interested in learning about her culture growing up rooted in her family’s origins in Kolkata, India. This included time that Susama spent there working with an NGO focusing on women’s issues. .

Susama was a volunteer at the school for several years while she was earning her doctorate degree in mathematics form Johns Hopkins University. It was a pleasure to have her back at TCS and for the students to get to know her.
