RIP Patrick Stewart, the master Shakespearean actor who after a mid career pivot became a screen icon as Star Trek's Picard and the X-Men's Professor X. He brought class, erudition and wit to everything he did. nytimes.com/2026/10/29/arts/…

For 80 years, Montgomery College has expanded access to higher education and created pathways to degrees, careers, transfer opportunities, and lifelong learning. We are proud to celebrate this milestone and our enduring partnership with the people of Montgomery County, and grateful to the @MoCoCouncilMD—especially Council President Natali Fani-González, County Vice President Marilyn Balcombe, and Chair Will Jawando—for recognizing MC’s eight decades of impact and opportunity. As President Jermaine F. Williams says, “Montgomery College has been part of Montgomery County’s story for 80 years, and we are honored to carry that story forward together.”
Thank you to Montgomery College Board of Trustees for attending: Chair Annice Cody, Michael Brintnall, Jacqueline Manger, and Marcia Mintz.

Two of Dolly Parton’s most beloved films, “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” are returning to the big screen following the country music icon’s death on Tuesday.
Beginning Friday, Aug. 28, AMC Theatres will screen both films at approximately 200 locations nationwide, including in Parton’s home state of Tennessee.

Building consensus around underemployment would help determine if there is a natural rate of underemployment—as there is for unemployment. A comparable baseline for underemployment would tell us what is atypically high vs. expected labor-market dynamics: bit.ly/40zyI8x

Montgomery County lost a dedicated public servant with the passing of Beryl L. Feinberg. Her nearly four decades of dedicated public service left a lasting mark on our County and the City of Rockville. My deepest condolences are with her family.

We were honored to welcome Councilmember @dawn_luedtke to this weekend's Summer Dinner Theatre production of “Anything Goes”.

Dr. James “Lee” Annis inspired generations of Montgomery College students to see history—and their place in it—differently. Read more about his impact at MC at go2mc.me/dr-james-lee-annis
For nearly four decades, Professor Annis brought history to life, connecting ideas, people, and perspectives in ways that challenged students to think deeper and aim higher. He believed in the potential of every student—especially those forging their own path—and created a classroom where curiosity, respect, and real dialogue thrived.
His impact reached far beyond campus. Through lectures, panels, and community conversations, he brought learning into the world—reminding us that education is not just about understanding the past, but shaping the future.
Professor Annis leaves behind a legacy defined by purpose, connection, and an unwavering belief that things can be better.
