Supporting Urban Prep is crucial. Why, you may ask? Urban Prep is transforming lives, guiding young Black boys towards higher education. When Mrs. Ebony Muhammad Mitchell and Mr. Juwaun Cooper-Muhammad first entrusted their sons to Urban Prep, they could only dream of a college education for them. At Urban Prep, dreams became reality. Like and save if you believe in supporting organizations like Urban Prep that are making college dreams come true for young Black men. #UrbanPrep #EducationForAll #CollegeAdmissions #SupportBlackYouth #MinoritiesInEducation #UrbanPrepSuccessStories

The National Association of County Information Officers (NACIO) has awarded me the 2024 Achievement in Excellence for Long-form Audiovisual content for my video, Lessons in Community Planning, which I was fortunate enough to produce, edit, and create motion graphics for.

On Thursday evening I delivered the State of the City Address for University Heights. As I said that night: I am not today thinking about where I will be in two years or six, but I am thinking about where the City will be, then and beyond.   And I am thinking about the work we will complete to do that.   ·     University Square redeveloped, ·     zoning code updated, ·     modern recycling implemented, ·     Wiley Middle School acquired, ·     recreation expanded year-round, ·     new bicycling infrastructure, ·     new service yard, ·     new police station, ·     new fire house, ·     new city hall. ·       All together, these things will make for A Better Tomorrow.     To that end, I close: It is a view that I borrow from the Talmud, that creation in all of its perfection is incomplete, that our role in our limited time is to help finish it. Alas the work is never done. But. The things I came here to do, I have done. The things that remain, will be done.   With the team I have assembled, together with our greatest asset, all of the employees of this city – and, so long as I have the mutual accord of the community, myself, and my family— I will continue to do the people’s work for you, Right Now. And for A Better Tomorrow. (Link to the full speech and video in the comments.)

Starfish mid-semester progress surveys are still open until Wednesday, March 20. ⚠️ During this period, all #PennState instructors and teaching assistants formally listed as instructors of record for full-semester undergraduate courses in LionPATH will receive an email prompt to share information about students’ course progress using to-dos, flags, and kudos. 💬 Academic advisers are encouraged to discuss concerns with students and to close the loop with instructors by letting them know the result of their efforts. 🔗📓 Students should contact their instructors or academic advisers if they receive a flag or to-do and need help in improving their coursework. They can also seek tutoring or use resources and services suggested in progress survey emails such as learning support, disability services, basic needs support, or personal support through University Health Services or Counseling and Psychological Services.
