Spotlight On: Fritz Mirand
Fritz Mirand is a member of the Takoma Park / Silver Spring Campus's facilities department. He's been working for MC for the past 16 years.
Fritz was born and raised in Haiti. After spending several years as an adult living in Puerto Rico, he relocated to the Washington D.C. area to be closer to his family.
As a child, Fritz began creating paintings. Later, he used watercolors and oils to create paintings of landscapes and seascapes. To perfect his skills, he attended art school in Takoma Park for two years. His current works are acrylic and are inspired by Haitian history. Professors in the Art department at TP/SS have invited Fritz to speak to students about his art and knowledge of Haiti. Most recently, he shared his painting of "Simon Bolivar" at a Hispanic Heritage Month cultural event.
Thank you Fritz for contributing to the achievement of students and enhancing our community with yout talents!

10th Annual Humanities Days at Montgomery College
Please join us for the 10th Annual Humanities Days at Montgomery College, presentations, dialogues, workshops and panels.
This year's theme, The Power of the Humanities to Sustain and Serve speaks to the significance of the Humanities in our personal, academic and professional lives. Inspiration in the form of discovering our histories, expressing our stories through art and literature, and connecting to past and present big ideas about our human experience can be a lifeline in times of need and a source of lifelong joy and sustenance. We hope that this year's programming educates, inspires and encourages participants to celebrate life through the Humanities.
