Today we had guests from the Baltimore County Public Defenders Office to discuss the 1963 landmark case of Gideon v Wainwright that guaranteed legal representation for all people accused of a crime. This right is carried out through the dedicated lawyers who work for the Public Defender system.
Special thanks to Jessi Bancroft for arranging this special seminar and to her colleagues Gayle Robinson, Erin Williams and Michael Doran for sharing their knowledge and experiences with us.
Planning for college financing and managing credit were 2 of the topics covered in this month’s Financial Literacy. This series, offered by Wealth Management firm Berman McAleer (BMc) and led by Operations Director Kathleen Gower is a key component of the Life Skills Education offered at TCS. Each month, different staff from BMc join Kathleen to teach this seminar. Today, Financial Advisor Genevieve Crisera joined Kathleen.
We appreciate this significant contribution to our students’ learning and the delicious lunch your brought and served ahead of the seminar. Thank you Berman McAleer!
A deep look at environmental justice issues was the topinc of this week’s “Conversation with…” We were joined by Environmental Protection Agency scientists Antonio Garcia and Dr. Michael Rose.
After student introductions, our guests talked about their educational and career journeys and what led them to work in the environmental field. Antonio grew up in Wisconsin and Mike in West Virginia. They both had a deep love for nature and the outdoors at the same time as living in heavily polluted areas with industrial waste and strip mining.
Each developed an interest in science that eventually found them working on water quality issues at the EPA. Not only did they speak about their work but also about the many careers in science available in this field. The students were especially impacted by the discussion on lead poisoning which remains a big concern in older cities like Baltimore.
After the Conversation, Mohamed and Ethan took them on a tour of the school and the students thanked them with a presentation of TCS mugs.
We were not only fortunate to have Antonio and Mike join us in Conversation, but also to have them as neighbors in Remington as well.
